NTIA Technical Memorandum TM-05-431

Bandwidth Dependence of Emission Spectra of Selected Pulsed-CW Radars

August 2005

Frank H. Sanders

Abstract: This technical memorandum describes measurements of the radiated emission spectra of selected maritime radiolocation radar transmitters in multiple bandwidths. The results support published criteria for selection of measurement bandwidths for emission spectra of non-FM pulsed-CW radars. This result complements the radar spectrum engineering criteria (RSEC) measurement procedures described in NTIA Report TR-05-420.

Keywords: radar emission measurement bandwidths; radar emission measurement techniques; radar emissions; radar spectrum engineering criteria (RSEC); spectrum measurements
