A Scan Converter Radar Display System.

Abstract

A radar display system, designed to integrate on a single display target information from several radars, has been designed and evaluated. Integration is obtained through the use of single gun scan converter tubes. The resultant image on the TV monitor is a bright steady PPI image which is updated at the end of each radar scan. Limitations imposed on the display by scan converter characteristics such as resolution, dynamic range, image uniformity and image registration are discussed. The system as configured does not provide a useful display, although the technique does achieve certain operator oriented advantages, such as a bright steady display.
