Range resolution is the ability of a radar system to distinguish between two or more targets on the same bearing but at different ranges. |
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 5. |
The time between the beginning of one pulse and the start of the next pulse is called ___________. |
|
|
Pulse-repetition frequency |
|
|
Pulse-repetition time |
| 6. |
What does figure 1-3 illustrate about?
(Refer Pg 1-6)
|
|
|
Radar pulse relationships |
|
|
Second -Sweep Echoes |
|
|
Pulse Repetition time |
|
|
None of the above |
| 7. |
Factor affecting radar range is antenna height. The high-frequency energy transmitted by a radar system travels in a straight line and does not normally bend to conform to the curvature of the earth. |
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 8. |
The bearing angle to the radar target may also be measured in a clockwise direction from the centerline of your own ship or aircraft and is referred to as the True Bearing. |
|
|
True |
|
|
False
|
| 9. |
The frequency of the rf energy in the pulse radiated by radar is referred to as the ______________ of the radar system.. |
|
|
CARRIER FREQUENCY |
|
|
RADIO FRAQUENCY |
| 10. |
Radar accuracy is a measure of the ability of a radar system to determine the correct range, bearing, and, in some cases, height of an object. |
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 11. |
Effect of atmosphere on radar performance is caused by particles suspended in the air. Water droplets and dust particles diffuse radar energy through absorption, reflection, and scattering so less energy strikes the target. |
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 12. |
In mechanical scanning, the beam can be moved in various ways: |
|
|
The entire antenna can be moved in the desired pattern |
|
|
The energy feed source can be moved relative to a fixed reflector |
|
|
The reflector can be moved relative to a fixed source |
|
|
Any of the above 3 ways |
| 13. |
Airborne radar is designed especially to meet the strict space and weight limitations that are necessary for all airborne equipment.
|
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 14. |
The maximum range of a pulse radar system depends on the following |
|
|
Carrier frequency |
|
|
Peak power |
|
|
Pulse-repetition frequency |
|
|
Receiver sensitivity |
|
|
All of the above |
| 15. |
The purpose of the magnet is to produce a fairly uniform magnetic field of the desired value over the interaction space between the cathode and plate of the magnetron.
|
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 16. |
The duplexer detects the very small target return echo and amplifies it to a usable level for display on the indicator.
|
|
|
True |
|
|
False
|
| 17. |
The echo-box test results reflect the combined relative effectiveness of the transmitter as a transmitter of energy and the receiver as a receiver of energy. |
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 18. |
_______________ is defined as the frequency spread between the half-power points on the receiver response curve. |
|
|
Receiver bandwidth |
|
|
Recovery time |
| 19. |
Many safety and health hazards are involved with operating and maintaining high-power radars. These hazards result from high levels of rf radiation, X-ray emissions, the necessity of working aloft, and the generation of extremely high voltages. |
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 20. |
