    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing data from a low beam channel, a high beam channel and a weather channel to perform an altitude estimation based upon a target amplitude ratio between the low beam channel and the high beam channel and target range, and for performing target detection based upon data from the weather channel. In one embodiment, migrating birds can be more accurately detected and classified than with conventional systems.

    Abstract: A method for operating a microwave amplifier wherein a packaging arrangement is provided. The packaging arrangement includes: (i) a mounting thermally conducting mounting flange; (ii) an isomorphic, thermally conductive material disposed on the flange; (iii) a circuit comprising a semiconductor chip having a transistor arranged as the amplifier, such amplifier being adapted to operate at a nominal microwave frequency with a band of frequencies, disposed on a portion of a surface of the isomorphic, thermally conductive material, other surface portions of the thermally conductive material extending laterally beyond the portion of the material having the semiconductor chip disposed thereon; (iv) a corral having an aperture through an inner region thereof, the isothermal material being disposed within the aperture, such corral having an outer region thereon mounted to surface portions of the flange. The amplifier is biased for Class C operation. The method includes feeding pulsed microwave signals to the amplifier for amplification thereby. The pulses have pulse widths greater than 750 microseconds and have a duty cycle of about 25 percent or more. Thus, the amplifier is now able to operate with a substantially continuous wave input signal.

    Abstract: Spurious frequencies are suppressed in a transmitter by an RF pulse fall time controller circuit comprising a quadrature hybrid matched attenuator located between a predriver and the first stage of class "C" driver amplifiers. The circuit linearly attenuates RF pulses and slows pulse fall time. Operation of the circuit is initiated when the rising edge of a pretrigger starts a pretrigger generator which then triggers the application of current bias to the attenuator circuit. After a controlled period of time, the circuit decreases the forward current bias of PIN diodes in the attenuator thereby increasing the diodes' series resistance and increasing the attenuation of the RF pulses. This creates a slow pulse fall time thereby suppressing spurious emissions caused by parasitic ringing of the cascaded Class C common base transistor amplifiers in the transmitter.
