Analysis of signals of stabilized autodynes

Results of the autodyne signal analysis of the self-oscillating systems stabilized in frequency by the external high-quality cavity are given. The coupling between the main and stabilizing cavities is realized on the basis of a pass-reflective filter with a resistive link. Mathematical equations are obtained describing an autodyne response onto impact of the own radiated signal reflected from a target. The analysis of phase, amplitude, frequency and amplitude-frequency characteristics of the autodyne system is fulfilled. The calculation of an autodyne signal spectrum is discussed. A new type of nonlinear distortions of an autodyne signal is examined, which is caused by a frequency dispersion of an oscillating system of the stabilized autodyne. Advantages of the stabilized autodyne compared to the usual single-tuned autodyne oscillator are shown
