Four-Frequency Radar Master Console

Abstract

In conjunction with the commercially contracted development of the airborne four-frequency radar system to be used in the Laboratory's wave propagation studies, the master console design was assumed by NRL. Four displays were incorporated into a single console, along with transmitter, receiver, and antenna drive control functions. Two cathode-ray tubes present the PPI and B scans, while a third presents dual traces rep resenting linear A sweeps. The system-control panel-assembly portion of the master console was completed on schedule to assist the con tractor in the radar development. The rest of the console was designed and completed so as to meet the contractor's schedule for system tests. Video circuit bandwidth requirements of 10 Mc and sweep ranges from 1/4 mile up to 200 miles were met in the critical A-scope circuitry.
