Scientific paper

Selected critical microwave components for a 400-kW very-long-pulse (several hours) X-band radar system are discussed from theoretical and practical viewpoints. Included are the special-sized waveguide and flanges, hybrid power combiner, couplers, switches, polarizer, rotary joints, feedhorn, and radome. The system is installed on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration/Jet Propulsion Laboratory 64-m-diam reflector antenna at Goldstone, CA.
