1.11.1 Function of Equipment
1.12.1 Function of Equipment
The receiver transmitter (X-band) generates the
RF energy from the transmitter section of the
accordance with timing and control signals from the
directed to the slotted waveguide array. Energy is
indicators. The echoes reflected from the target are
radiated from the array in a narrow unidirectional beam,
amplified and detected to provide video target data to
so that the bearing of an object reflecting energy can be
the indicators.
determined to within approximately 10. Vertically, the
beam is relatively wide (approximately 220), so that the
roll and pitch of the vessel will not normally impair the
antenna direct line of sight to the horizon. The antenna
radiates the pulse of high frequency energy, and
receives the reflected pulse of energy when the
transmitter is off.
