We know a simple aerial will radiate electromagnetic waves
equally in all directions;
it can also receive signals from all directions.
But this is of limited use when trying to determine the direction of a particular reflection.
Introduction
![Page 3: Advanced Radio and Radar Part 6 Radar Display. We know a simple aerial will radiate electromagnetic waves equally in all directions; it can also receive.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d0e5503460f949e43e7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Instead of radiating, the radio wave needs to be concentrated
into a single beam
so that the radar can be made to "look" and "listen"
in one specific direction at a time.
Introduction

Radar AerialsIn order to produce a beam of radiationwe need to radiate from a shaped area,
not a single wire.
To overcome this problemreflectors are usedto modify the aerial’s pattern and reflect the waves in one particular direction.

Radar AerialsIn order to produce a beam of radiationwe need to radiate from a shaped area,
not a single wire.
But there are a numberof different shapes, typesand designs that we can use to produce this singlebeam of radiation.

Radar AerialsWhatever the differentshape, type or design,
there is some form of ‘reflector’ at the centre.
This is similar to the reflectorin a torch or headlight focusing the lightinto a narrow beam.

To detect bearings the aerial is rotated, sweeping a narrow beam in a complete circle.
(called Scanning).
All reflections can be plotted around a circle – with the aerial at the centre.

To obtain vertical information the aerial is moved up and down through 90°.
From the reflections received, accurate range and bearing information
can be measured.

Radar DisplayObtaining a target
is only part of the detecting process.
The operator needs to "see" the target in a visual form.
For this we use a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) which works on a similar principle
to a television screen.
CRT

Radar Display
As the time interval between the radio pulses is short
the actual CRT screen can be calibrated in miles
to match the range of the pulse.

Radar Display
The instant the pulse is transmitted a spot travels across the CRT screen
moving at a constant speed.
This is known as “Base Velocity".

Radar Display
If a target is detected a "blip" appears.
Because the screen is calibrated in miles we know the distance (range) to the target.

Radar Display
This radar,
known as ‘Type A’,
is good for determining the range of an object,
but it cannot determine the object’s bearing,
or its height.

Radar Display
To get the bearing and height
we must make some alterations
to the CRT display screen,
Starting with the bearing –

Radar Display
To find the bearing (direction)
of a target
we need to find its Azimuth (bearing measured from North).

By using a Plan Position Indicator (PPI)
that rotates a beam through 360° the azimuth
(bearing)of any target can be calculated.

to display range and bearing
by adding Range Rings
to aid in range finding.

The display starts
from the centre of the screen,
and produces a radial trace
moving in time with the rotation of the aerial,
and ‘blipping’ the target contact.

Other RangesTo pinpoint a target
by both height and bearing requires more than one aerial.
However, there is now a radar systemthat combines both facilities into one aerial,
known as the 3-D.
It works by electronically selecting the various aerial arrays
and passing the informationto the Plan Position Indicator (PPI) display.
