1b Flashcards
Rotatable antenna & reflector assembly
Scanner Antenna
This type of antenna has no reflector or feedhorn
Slotted Waveguide
This radiates RF energy from transmitter and highly directional beam 
Radar antenna systems 
Beam is changed electricly. Individual radiating elements
Electronic beam steering
What are the benefits of electronic scanning
Increased data rates, virtually instantaneous positioning of radar beam, elimination of mechanical errors and failures, increased flexibility of radar
Maintains target tracks in computer with updates from scanning radar system
Track while scan radar
Point at which no radar returns
Radar Horizon
The radar horizon is dependent on the altitude of antenna and?
Bending of a wave
Around obstruction
Diffraction
Velocity change, atmospheric
Refraction
