Radar EMC in the Space Age

This paper is based on a recent study-in-depth of the current radar situation in the United States. It is intended here to define, on the basis of' the data offered by this study radar's contribution to the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) environment of today and for the next decade. It will be shown that the current maximum in radar power output, about 200 megawatts peak, is constrained by a number of technological factors to remain quite static throughout this period what will increase, and in rapid fashion, is the actual number of' these high powered radiators.
