Radar measurement of these missiles is complicated by their usually very low radar cross-section (RCS) values. Knowledge of RCS values plays crucial role in design of reliable detection system. The purpose of this paper is to present first results of 3D electromagnetic field simulations of accurate models of two common types of anti-armor missiles. The results are discussed with respect to the impact on detection and measurement range of active-defense systems.","PeriodicalId":199632,"journal":{"name":"2007 70th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference (ARFTG)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115535481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we look at the resolution requirements for fault isolation, and analyze some myths and realities surrounding the resolution issue. Then, we analyze the requirements for rise time in various serial data standards, how to determine the right rise time for a standard, and how it translates into TDR rise time requirements. Finally, we look dynamic range and frequency content of serial data signals, look at how to determine the dynamic range requirements, and how the bandwidth should be determined. Together, these analyses provide a designer with a complete set of guidelines for selection of his time and frequency domain measurements.","PeriodicalId":199632,"journal":{"name":"2007 70th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference (ARFTG)","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128344236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A voltage step is applied to the gate of the transistor to step the device from threshold to possessing a significant DC power dissipation. Exponential models are fit to the transient results. The traditional one-pole fit is compared to a two-pole fit. It is discovered that the two-pole fit provides a slightly better prediction of the transient.","PeriodicalId":199632,"journal":{"name":"2007 70th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference (ARFTG)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124234949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By separating these problems and employing semi-realistic models of receiver behavior, one can get a better look at where issues may occur and how they will be manifested as a function of calibration type. Starting with simple 1-port calibrations and working up to multiport calibrations, the quantitative effects for some practical nonlinear models will be studied. Results include some strong dependencies on raw test set parameters for all calibrations and some noticeable effects of asymmetry/line variance in the TRL class of calibration techniques.","PeriodicalId":199632,"journal":{"name":"2007 70th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference (ARFTG)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122382963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
