AN/TPN-14 Precision Approach Radar (PAR) Analysis

Abstract

The purpose of the contract for which this report is written is the study and analysis of the AN/TPN-14 PAR, and the subsequent reporting of recommendations of design modifications for corrections of deficiencies. Tests were conducted and observed, and data collected for the purpose of analyzing system performance, and the equipment specification was reviewed for possible improvements. This report includes the analyses which resulted from the foregoing studies, in two sections; suggested improvements in the manner of stating equipment requirements in the specification are given, and for the equipment, deficiencies are discussed, solutions suggested, and recommendations made as to whether early correction or acceptance of the existing conditions is preferable. Publication of this technical documentary report ESD-TDR-64-397 does not constitute Air Force approval of its findings or conclusions, ft is published only for the exchange and stimulation of ideas.
