Norman Friedman talks about it in his book for both SD and SJ radars, in the footnotes for his chapter on WWII.

He he, it's just odd that I cannot find out what the SJ and SD stood for. I know the military loves to make acronyms out of just about anything they get their hands on. My guess was that, as someone said earlier, the "S" probably stood for the "s-band", but what the "J" and "D" part was for, well, I guess that's one of those military secrets that'll never be released.
