Laboratory simulation of the approach of a radar fuze towards a target is an important factor in our ability to accurately measure the radar's performance. This simulation is achieved, in part, by dynamically delaying and attenuating the radar's transmitted pulse and sending the result back to the radar's receiver. Historically, the device used to perform the dynamic delay has been a limiting factor in the evaluation of a radar's performance and characteristics. A new device has been proposed that appears to have more capability than previous dynamic delay devices. This device is the digital RF memory. This report presents the results of an analysis of a digital RF memory used in a signal-delay application. 2 refs.
