Magnetostatic Waves for Simultaneous Pulse Separation

Inaccurate measurements, due to signals occurring simultaneously in a dense EWscenario, lower the probability of intercept. Propagation of these signals through a highly dispersive delay line should separate them in time domain. Inherent dispersion of Magnetostatic Waves are ideally suited for this application. Simultaneous signals, 150 MHz apart at S band, could be separated by more than 40ns using MSW dispersive delay lines. Effects of bias field and temperature on MSW dispersion characteristics are reported.
