Across
- 2. 5 cm wavelength and a frequency of 5200MHz - 5900MHz
- 6. Sudden change in wind direction or speed
- 7. This motor sweeps the antenna side to side
- 8. Computes azimuth and elevation to keep antenna stabilized
- 9. Mode on monochromatic displays to show storm strength
- 11. Quiescent period is also known as the
- 12. Usually set to auto, adjusts sensitivity of receiver
- 13. Newer radars detect turbulence using this effect
- 16. Carries RF energy from the receiver and transmitter to the antenna
- 19. The pulse __________ frequency is the number of pulses transmitted per second
- 20. When it looks like the aircraft is flying a clear path, but when viewed at a further range is actually flying head on into a storm
Down
- 1. Where is the antenna mounted
- 3. The magnetron power oscillator generates this
- 4. This radar function is a good indication of storm strength - shows heigh of storm and clouds
- 5. Alerts the pilot of potentially dangerous weather systems in aircraft path
- 10. Weather radar reflects off this in the air
- 14. This "time control" increases the gain for distant returns to get accurate target intensity
- 15. Time for signal to be sent out, bounce off a system and reflect back
- 17. Weather radar works on this principle
- 18. There are digital and ______ systems
