Consider the positive shift caused by the closing target in the diagram which has been highly simplified for clarity. It can be seen that as the relative velocity increases, a point will be reached where the spectral lines that constitute the echoes are hidden or aliased by the next sideband of the modulated carrier. Transmission of multiple ...
Measurement of a target's RCS is performed at a radar reflectivity range or scattering range. [citation needed] The first type of range is an outdoor range where the target is positioned on a specially shaped low RCS pylon some distance down-range from the transmitters. Such a range eliminates the need for placing radar absorbers behind the ...
The radar chart is also known as web chart, spider chart, spider graph, spider web chart, star chart, [2] star plot, cobweb chart, irregular polygon, polar chart, or Kiviat diagram. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It is equivalent to a parallel coordinates plot, with the axes arranged radially.
Glass chart. A 1951 USAF resolution test chart is a microscopic optical resolution test device originally defined by the U.S. Air Force MIL-STD-150A standard of 1951. The design provides numerous small target shapes exhibiting a stepped assortment of precise spatial frequency specimens.
Airborne pulse-Doppler radar antenna. A pulse-Doppler radar is a radar system that determines the range to a target using pulse-timing techniques, and uses the Doppler effect of the returned signal to determine the target object's velocity.
The AN/MPQ-53 at the heart of the system is known as the "Phased Array Tracking Radar to Intercept on Target", [6] which is a backronym for "Patriot". In 1984, the Patriot system began to replace the Nike Hercules system as the U.S. Army's primary high to medium air defense (HIMAD) system and the MIM-23 Hawk system as the U.S. Army's medium ...
Diagram showing units "in enfilade" (red) and "in defilade" (blue) with another unit (green) providing enfilading fire. Enfilade and defilade are concepts in military tactics used to describe a military formation's exposure to enemy fire. A formation or position is "in enfilade" if weapon fire can be directed along its longest axis.
In cybernetics and control theory, a setpoint (SP; [1] also set point) is the desired or target value for an essential variable, or process value (PV) of a control system, [2] which may differ from the actual measured value of the variable.
