A radar display is an 

electronic device to present radar data to the operator. The radar


system transmits pulses or continuous waves of electromagnetic radiation, a small portion of
which backscatter off targets (intended or otherwise) and return to the radar system.

The signal processor is that part of the system which separates targets from clutter on the
basis of Doppler content and amplitude characteristics. In modern radar sets the
conversion of radar signals to digital form is typically accomplished after IF amplification and
phase sensitive detection.

Master Clocks take one or more precise timing reference signals as inputs, then convert and
distribute those timing references to other devices to improve their accuracy. Master
clock systems are used in a variety of applications and industries, including: Aerospace.
Defense.

The radar modulator generates a high voltage for the transmitter tube for the duration of
the transmitting pulse. ... Caused by this switching function, it is sometimes called a “keyed
on/off” radar modulator. Such a modulator is often used to drive self-oscillating high power
generators like magnetrons.

The purpose of the radar receiver is to amplify, detect, and process the desired echoes
resulting from the radar transmission. The receiver must provide for separation of the
desired echoes from the undesired or unwanted signals.

A duplexer is an electronic device that allows bi-directional (duplex) communication over a


single path. In radar and radio communications systems, it isolates the receiver from the
transmitter while permitting them to share a common antenna.

The function of the radar transmitter is to generate an electromagnetic signal to illuminate
the target. The transmitters can be classified into the oscillators and power amplifiers. ... The
solid-state transmitters have lower voltage requirements and poor operation at higher frequency
bands.

In a radar, a waveguide transfers radio frequency energy to and from the antenna, where
the impedance needs to be matched for efficient power transmission (see below). ...
Transmission lines are a specific type of waveguide, very commonly used.
A Radar antenna is a unit that transmits radio waves and receives the echoes of these
radio waves. The performance of an antenna lies in its capability to detect the exact direction in
which an object is located.
