A 35 GHz doppler-radar has been developed to measure velocity, distance and acceleration of railbound vehicles. This radar, the vsb-RADAR, employs a Gunn-Device, a wave-guide slot antenna and a digital signal processor to provide the measuring data. Because of the small dimensions of the entire microwave unit, (86 × 456 × 114) mm, the radar can be directly mounted to the locomotive bogie. In 1975 the system was developed and since then has been under continuing tests at the \"Deutsche Bundesbahn\" (DB), the German Federal Railway. Concerning distance measurements an accuracy of 0.1% standard deviation has been achieved. Velocity and acceleration is measured with an accuracy of 1 %. These data hold for the velocity range of 20 to 250 km/h.","PeriodicalId":429268,"journal":{"name":"1978 8th European Microwave Conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116914813","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}

For the bipolar transistors, |S2l| shows a much slower decrease at high currents than conventional measurements made under steady bias. In the case of the MOS device, |S2l| approaches a constant value at high currents showing that the fall in magnitude normally observed is due entirely to the increase in device temperature. It is suggested that this method can be applied to measurements under other transient conditions provided that the system response does not change within the sampling window of 10 ns.","PeriodicalId":429268,"journal":{"name":"1978 8th European Microwave Conference","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132333688","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}
