Abstract :
In radar applications any pulse-to-pulse amplitude and phase change in the transmitted/received signal can affect the radar performances in terms of cancellation and MTI (moving target indicator). The present paper will focus on the characterization of a high performances/low cost T/R Module and related components: in particular PM and AM pulse-to-pulse measured stability better of 75 dBc will be shown
