Abstract :
An overview of frequency control devices used in radar systems is presented. These devices include frequency sources for master oscillators, frequency synthesizers for multiple frequency operation, and waveform generators for providing frequency or phase modulations on the radar transmit signal. The frequency control devices are presented from the perspective of their relation to each other, the application in the radar system, and their effect on radar system performance
