Component and Circuit Performance Measurements for Coherent Radar - A Systems Perspective
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
A useful performance metric for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) radar systems is the Impulse Response (IPR). This is true for a fidelity metric for the signal channel, as well as a stability measure across multiple pulses. The IPR represents performance with respect to both amplitude and phase modulations of the transfer function for components, circuits, subassemblies, and even the looped radar hardware. The proper IPR performance specification limits will depend on radar operating mode. Generally, it will be the intersection of the strictest requirements.
