3. RADAR (Radio Detection And Ranging) is a way to detect
and study far off targets by transmitting a radio pulse in
the direction of the target and observing the reflection of
the wave.
8. Radar Group: antenna,remote control,AFC,
interrogator
Shelter: display unit, PPI(plane position
indicator), processor unit &
battery
Motor generator: power supply

9. T.D.R: target data receiver
Parallax correction
Threat evaluation
LINE CONNECTION ADAPTER:
receive data
2-wire telephone line

11. • Atmospheric attenuation
• Reflection off of earth’s
surface
• Over-the-horizon diffraction
Radar beams can be attenuated, reflected and
bent by the environment
12. DETECTION: Moving target data displayed
over PPI
TARGET TRACKING: Track of moving target
DECODING: Transmitted by VHF-FM/line

16. HT UNIT: main voltage to dc voltage
MAGNETRON: RF power generator
LO+AFC:
decide frequency of radar pulse

17. Low probability of Interception (LPI) :
Is to see and not be seen.
Low enemy’s electronic counter-measures (ECM)
Use narrow main-lobe and extremely low side-lobes

18. The technology of ground penetrating radar
uses Ultrawideband (UWB) techniques.
Detectburied landmines as small as 10 square
cm

20. PARABOLIC REFLECTOR:
rotating with a high speed. In the focus of the
reflector is a radiator, which emits the pulses,
and which receives the RF echo pulses.
In the waveguide is the polarization shifter,
which causes the polarization of the RF
energy to be either horizontally or circularly.
20
21. Time - Radar can take up to 2 seconds to
lock on
Radar has wide beam spread (50 ft
diameter over 200 ft range).
Cannot track if deceleration is greater than
one mph/second.
Large targets close to radar can saturate
receiver.
Hand-held modulation can falsify
readings.

22. Military radars are one of the most important
requirements during the wartime
Used for early detection of ballistic missile and also
for accurate target detection and firing.
Advises the weapon crew which target can be
engaged first.
