THE ACCURACY OF A SG-1B, MOD 50 RADAR,
Abstract
The range bearing accuracy of the SG radar has been described in a number of publications as varying between + or - 100 and + or - 200 yards in range and between + or - 1 degrees and + or - 2 degrees in bearing. The results obtained in this experiment on a SG-1b, Mod. 50, radar show that over 25% of the errors made were greater than the above mentioned accuracy. For the continuous-antenna-rotation method of operation, 90% of the errors of four operators fell within + or - 2.40 degrees and + or - 339 yards. For the stopping-of-the-antenna method of operation, 90% of the errors of four operators fell within + or - 2.7 degrees and + or - 252 yards. The above values include SG equipment and operator errors. (Author)
