Amplitude Correction for Impulse Response Measurement of Radar Pulses

This technical paper discusses the implementation of amplitude correct and the elimination of amplitude errors in the (IPR) impulse response measurement. This measurement can be performed using a signal analyzer on the RF output of a radar while using the radar’s own chirp as the internal measurement reference.

Impulse Response as a Measurement of the Quality of Chirp Radar Pulses

Impulse response, or time-sidelobe, is qualitative indicator of a chirp radar performance. This technical paper introduces and describes the implementation on the Tektronix Spectrum Analyzer and SignalVu software applications.
