Two high-dynamic-range receiver subsystems for using in airborne radar fire control and tracking applications are described. A high-performance X-band monopulse tracking receiver and a Doppler fire control receiver are presented with performance data and design considerations to achieve high dynamic range. The radar subsystems described use magnetrons to produce the transmit pulses. An AFC (automatic frequency control) circuit locks the internal local oscillators to the transmit frequency to produce a 60-MHz IF (intermediate frequency) downconverted return.
