Abstract :
In radar applications (Golshayan et al., 1999) and (van den Bogaart, 1999) any pulse-to-pulse amplitude and phase change in the transmitted/received signal can affect the radar performances in terms of cancellation and MTI (moving target indicator). The present paper focus on the characterization of a high performances/low cost T/R module and related components: in particular PM and AM pulse-to-pulse measured stability better of 75 dBc is shown
