1c Flashcards
This suppresses RF leakage when transmitter fires
Main bang suppression
Reduces gain of amplifier stage when extremely strong returns are received
Instantaneous automatic gain control (IAGC)
Reduces gain to prevent strong echoes of NEAR targets from overwhelming returns of FAR targets
Sensitivity Time Control (STC)
Used to differentiate returns from multiple targets by passing only leading edge of echo to the receiver
Fast time constant (FTC)
Reduction of wave, reduces range for target detection
Attenuation
This is the heart of the indicator
Cathode ray tube
Target information displayed on planned position indicator (PPI) CRT by electron beams that contacts inside what
Phosphorescent coating 
What is the term for radial movement of electron beam
Sweep
Frequency, peak power, and antenna rotation rate are all factors affecting what
Maximum range
Calibration, ranging scale, radar scope interpretation are all factors affecting what
Range accuracy
Two targets on the same bearing cannot be distinguished as separate return unless separated by distance of 1/2 pulse length
Pulse Length
Two targets may appear as single return if gain is too high
Receiver gain
