Radar RF Component Selection
How a radar waveform decides the LO, the preselector and the converter — wideband and hopping plans lean YIG; fixed-channel plans lean DRO and cavity.

Microwave Applications
How component choices change across radar, electronic warfare, SATCOM, spectrum monitoring, test equipment and microwave communications.
The same component family carries different requirements in each of these domains. These guides start from the application constraint.
Radar RF components is the first of those mappings: the waveform picks the LO family, the preselector and the converter. Electronic warfare, SATCOM, spectrum monitoring, test equipment and communications will follow the same shape — constraint first, part second.
Until those pages exist, the device-level versions of the same choices are YIG oscillator vs VCO vs DRO and YIG filter vs cavity filter.
