Design, implementation and performance analysis of crystal video front end for x-band radar warning receiver

Abstract

This paper introduce design, implementation and measurement of front end crystal video receiver (CVR) that operates in the frequency range of 8–10 GHZ to intercept short duration pulse radar signals. The proposed receiver is designed with two outputs, video signal for real-time signal processing and an amplified version of the received signal for frequency measuring and/or determine the presence of CW signal.
