energy in a highly directional beam, receive any echoes or reflections of transmitted pulses from
targets, and pass these echoes to the receiver.
CW RF Oscillator (Transmitter) - generates radio-frequency (r-f) energy in the form of short powerful
pulses as a result of being turned on and off by the triggering signals from the modulator.
Mixer - a device that multiplies the two signals. Combining the original RF signal with local oscillator
signal in a non-linear device.
Amplifier Used to amplify signals.
Discriminators - A device that converts a property of an input signal, such as frequency or phase, into an
amplitude variation, depending on how the signal differs from a standard or reference
signal.
Indicator - The primary function is to provide a visual display of the ranges and bearings of radar targets
from which echoes are received.
Modulator The function of the modulator is to insure that all circuits connected with the radar system
operate in a definite time relationship with each other and that the time interval between pulses is of the
proper length.
Output Tube AS variety of high frequency transmitting linear-beam vacuum tube.
ATR Switch Connected to the antenna by a half wave line so it presents the same open circuit to the
antenna-to-receiver line.
TR Switch Switch alternately connects the transmitter and receiver to a shared antenna.
Antenna The function of the system is to take the r-f energy from the transmitter, radiate this
energy in a highly directional beam, receive any echoes or reflections of transmitted pulses from
targets, and pass these echoes to the receiver.
Mixer Combining the original RF signal with local oscillator signal in a non-linear device.
Local Oscillator Used with a mixer to change the frequency of a signal.
IF Amplifier Used to raise signal levels in a stereo system.
Detector Any device that receives a signal or stimulus (as heat or pressure or light or motion etc.) and
responds to it in a distinctive manner.
Video Amplifier Allow a video signal to be filtered and displayed with a higher resolution.
Indicator Provide a visual display of the ranges and bearings of radar targets from which echoes are
received.
