Abstract

A self-calibrating microwave transponder incorporating an amplifier, modulator, instantaneous frequency discriminator, memory and voltage controlled oscillator is described which may generate an RF signal in response to the carrier frequency of received low duty cycle pulse RF signals. The instantaneous frequency discriminator is used to provide an address signal from the pulse RF signals which is used to access a memory that contains the correct tuning data for the voltage controlled oscillator to generate an RF signal.
