Miller, Don Carlin. Ph.D., Purdue University, February 1960. Noise Analysis of Phase Detectors. Major Professors George R. Cooper.nPhase detectors are used in many types of radar equipment. They a; particularly used in monopulse radar systems where special types of antenna and amplifier systems are used to sharpen the resolution proper ties of the antenna. The phase detector develops signal output from ties target which is used for display or computer input. The problem of this investigation is to determine the nature of this output signal in the presence of noise by the use of a statistical approach.nThe problem is simplified by first investigating the output auto-correlation function for inputs of noise only. This approach makes use of an assumed Gaussian band-limited noise input and analyzes the signal as they pass through the two diodes. Two solutions are found. The fin is for linear envelope detection of the diodes and the second for square law diode operation.
