Report on Development of an Adapter to Give Simultaneous Radar and D-F Signals on the PPI of a Radar System

Abstract

This report describes a system for transcribing an indication of bearing from the model CXGH direction finding equipment onto a radar plan position indicator. The "figure g" pattern of the direction finding equipment is superimposed on the regular PPI pattern. The operator can then identify targets when the radar bearing and CXGH bearing coincide. No internal changes are required in the PPI to present this information, and only slight modifications of the CXGH are required. This system is also readily adaptable to other types of direction finding equipment.
