GLITTERING ARRAY FOR RADAR PULSE SHAPING

摘要

Variable array thinning to achieve efficient radar pulse shaping for advanced radar waveforms such as pulse burst or monopulse doppler. At the beginning of the pulse, only a few elements, spread out over the array, are turned on. the effective amplitude can be controlled with precision because each element is either off or at saturation. High efficiency is maintained because the off-state of each element is long enough so that prime power is not consumed.
