Abstract:Advanced radar receivers having an instantaneous dynamic range exceeding 90 dB are currently under development. These receivers must operate linearly to achieve satisfactory performance in a severe clutter environment. Presently available, state-of-the-art analog-to-digital converters ( ADCs) having sufficiently high sampling rates do not have adequate dynamic ranges to digitize the outputs of these receivers.A technique has been developed that effectively reduces the dynamic range of the input signal prior to… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
