Nonlinear measurement of range to a radio radiation source by the method of deliberate cross modulation of its signals

Abstract

A new technique is proposed for measurement of range to a radio radiation source. The technique is based on the nonlinear effect of cross modulation of the signal created in the radiation source transmitter due to irradiation by a strong pulse field. The paper includes an example of functional diagram of a nonlinear range-only radar embodying the technique suggested, and the results of its experimental approbation.
