What have people found effective as a signal source when doing
Linrad's procedure for calibration of analog hardware? In
particular, has a tuned amplifier for the RF (or IF) frequency in
question been found necessary to get enough S/N?
I have used a pulse generator that produces pulses about 25 ns
wide -- so they have significant power up to 40 MHz or so -- but
at a PRF of order 100 Hz the S/N in the calibration procedure is
marginal.
