Abstract :
The paper contains a short survey of the principles of the successive- detection-type logarithmic receiver for pulsed radar, followed by a detailed description of its video problems. A new detection arrange ment is described, and a mathematical analysis of its operation under practical conditions is given. A video amplifier including a differentiat ing circuit for signals of large dynamic range with negligible overshoot is described. Conclusions are drawn for the practical application of the logarithmic receiver with various indicators.
