Operation - The Electronic Altimeter Set is a range tracking radar that utilizes pulse techniques and leading edge tracking of ground return signals to produce

32、highly accurate altitude infor- mation from O to 5,000 feet of altitude. The altimeter system has two modes of operation. In the search mode, the system successively examines increments of range with each cycle of operation until the complete altitude range is searched for a ground return signal. In

33、 the track mode, the system locks on and tracks a ground return signal giving continuous altitude information. Altitude information is obtained by measuring the time from the instant that r-f energy leaves the transmitter until the first ground return signal is detected in the receiver. The system c

34、onverts this time interval information to a dc voltage. amplitude of the dc voltage. 3.4.1 This voltage is applied to a device which indicates altitude (in feet) proportional to the Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-A-238878 (WP) 3:
