A family of type IIB superstring backgrounds involving Ramond-Ramond fields are obtained in ten dimensions starting from a {ital K} model through a generalization of our recent results. The unbroken global SL(2,{ital R}) symmetry of the type IIB equations of motion are implemented in this context as a solution generating transformation. A geometrical analysis, based on the tensor structure of the higher order {alpha}{sup {prime}} terms in the equations of motion, is employed to show that these backgrounds are exact. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
