Simultaneous Pulse Separator

Simultaneous signals in EW/IFM receivers escape unnoticed, thus lowering the probability of intercept. Propagation of these signals through a highly dispersive delay line should separate them in time domain. Magnetostatic waves are inherently dispersive and, therefore, offer great promise for correcting the simultaneous signals problem directly at microwave frequencies. A simultaneous pulse separator using a dispersive delay line is proposed, and the experimental results of an MSW dispersive delay line are reported.
