9. ROTATION PROGRAM
Under this students are introduced to the company by putting them under a rotation
program to various departments. The several departments where I had gone under my
rotational program are:
1. Test Equipment and Automation
2. P.C.B. Fabrication
3. Quality Control Works-Radar
4. Work Assembly- Communication
5. Magnetics
6. Microwave lab
Rotation period was to give us a brief insight of the company’s functioning and
knowledge of the various departments. A brief idea of the jobs done at the particular
departments was given. The cooperative staff at the various departments made the learning
process very interesting , which allowed me to know about the company in a very short time.
10. RADAR
The term RADAR was coined in 1941 as an acronym for
Radio Detection and Ranging. This acronym of American
origin replaced the previously used British abbreviation RDF
(Radio Direction Finding).
11. BASIC PRINCIPLE
Echo and Doppler Shift
Echo is something you experience all the time. If you shout into a
well or a canyon, the echo comes back a moment later. The echo
occurs because some of the sound waves in your shout reflect off of
a surface (either the water at the bottom of the well or the canyon
wall on the far side) and travel back to your ears.
Doppler shift is also common. You probably experience it daily
(often without realizing it). Doppler shift occurs when sound is
generated by, or reflected off of, a moving object. Doppler shift
in the extreme creates sonic booms
13. RADAR EQUATION
The amount of power Pr returning to the receiving antenna is
given by the radar equation:-
where
Pt = transmitter power
Gt = gain of the transmitting antenna
Ar = effective aperture (area) of the receiving antenna
σ = radar cross section, or scattering coefficient, of the target
F = pattern propagation factor
Rt = distance from the transmitter to the target
Rr = distance from the target to the receiver.
15. RADAR TRANSMITTER
The radar transmitter produces the short duration high-power of
pulses of energy that are radiated into space by the antenna. The
radar transmitter is required to have the following technical and
operating characteristics:
The transmitter must have the ability to generate the required mean RF power
and the required peak power
The transmitter must have a suitable RF bandwidth.
The transmitter must have a high RF stability to meet signal processing
requirements
The transmitter must be easily modulated to meet waveform design
requirements.
The transmitter must be efficient, reliable and easy to maintain and the life
expectancy and cost of the output device must be acceptable.
18. RADAR APPLICATIONS
Air traffic control uses radar to track planes both on the ground and in the air,
and also to guide planes in for smooth landings.
Police use radar to detect the speed of passing motorists.
NASA uses radar to map the Earth and other planets, to track satellites and space
debris and to help with things like docking and maneuvering.
The military uses it to detect the enemy and to guide weapons.
