Abstract: A method of driving a discharge lamp (1) to avoid acoustic resonance comprises regulating the current flow through the lamp (1) by a ballast (2) in order that the output frequency of the ballast (2) is changed when the lamp (1) is detected to have entered an acoustic resonance mode. To this end the light output by the lamp (1) is monitored, for example by a sensor (4). This light is analyze to determine if the lamp (1) has entered an acoustic resonance mode and operation of the ballast (2) is controlled accordingly to change the current flow through the lamp (1). Preferably, the light frequency spectrum of the lamp (1) is monitored across the whole of the visible light spectrum to detect a fall in light intensity at any particular frequency in order that the output frequency of the ballast (2) is changed so that the lamp (1) is driven at a different frequency.

Abstract: In order to produce chirp signals of a desired spectral purity for use in a deramp SAR system, a digital version of the chirp signal is converted to analog form in a digital to analog converter (38), and a version of the analog signal in Nyquist zone 2 is filtered and applied to a mixer (46), together with a local oscillator signal, for upconverting to an RF signal for transmission. Use of the Nyquist zone 2 version, with a higher frequency than the base analog signal in Nyquist zone 1, ensures that intermodulation products generated in the mixer (46) are sufficiently spaced from the upconverted signal, that a subsequent band pass filter (48) may block the unwanted products.
