Abstract

This article describes the design modification of the DSS 14 bistatic radar receiver. This receiver is basically an open-loop superheterodyne receiver used for development of communication techniques. The modifications include wider bandwidths to support high-speed, high-resolution planetary mapping, and the redistribution of system gain to prevent noise saturation. The redesigned bistatic radar receiver has been installed at DSS 14 and is now being used in the Venus radar mapping experiment.
