A 1.56THz compact radar range for W-band imagery of scale-model tactical targets

A new very high-frequency compact radar range has been developed to measure scale models of tactical targets. This compact range has demonstrated very good signal-to-noise and is useful in measuring low observable targets. In addition to normal ISAR imaging of targets (range vs. horizontal cross-range), the system can also produce two-dimensional images in azimuth and elevation (vertical cross-...

A Compact H-plane Magic Tee Designed at W Band

Magic tee is a widely used component in microwave systems; the four arms of a conventional magic tee direct at four different directions, which occupy much space and give inconveniences to the assemblage of a system. In this paper, a waveguide narrow-wall slot directional coupler and an E-plane dielectric loaded waveguide phase shifter are used to make up of a magic tee with four arms in the sa...

Identifying drizzle within marine stratus with W-band radar reflectivity

Airborne cloud radar and cloud microphysical data, collected in summertime stratus clouds off the Oregon coast, are analyzed to obtain an empirical threshold radar reflectivity above which drizzle can be expected in warm marine stratus. Such clouds, which are prevalent over the eastern subtropical oceans, have a profound impact on global climate. This study finds that the threshold reflectivity...

Vector Modulator for W -Band Software Radar Techniques

Direct-carrier modulation is an attractive technique for low-cost high-performance radar transceivers. In this paper, it is shown that, when the technique is applied to a generic homodyne radar architecture, the signaling waveform can be software adapted without requiring any hardware modifications. The key circuit in this novel software radar is a -band monolithic – vector modulator employing ...
