height finder

Each height finder radar was installed in its own building.

A height finder is a ground based aircraft altitude measuring device.

Those in height finders have the beam oriented horizontally.

The batteries were well equipped, by contemporary Norwegian standards, with central sights, range and height finders.

The height finder radar transmitted five megawatts of radio frequency energy in a two microsecond pulse.

Early height finder implementations were optical devices and later migrated to radar devices.

"Missile tracking and height finder pop-up threat!"

Both height finder radar antennas were protected by smaller, inflatable radomes.

A height finder radar is a type of 2-dimensional radar that measures altitude of a target.

Height finder up!"

An example of this is the General Electric Height Finder Radar on display.

At the same time, the ships' radar systems were augmented with the installation of the SP height finder on the main mast.

Modern 3D radar sets find both azimuth and elevation, making separate height finder radars largely obsolete.

For anti-aircraft use, directors are usually used in conjunction with other fire control equipment, such as height finders or fire control radars.

"Height finder active again," McLanahan said.

Data from the radar was passed to the Automatic Height Finder which compared comparative strength of returns from a target between beams.

In 1958, a height finder General Electric AN/FPS-6 Radar was added to the site.

No12 Height Finder (Noddy)

The AN/FPS-90 Radar height finder antenna could be positioned to point in any direction to determine the altitude of aircraft.

In the absence of altitude information, for example from a height finder, the aircraft location would be plotted farther (2) from the antenna than its actual ground track.

The technical site was originally home to a Type 80 search radar, a Type 14 standby reporting radar and a Type 13 height finder.

Height finding capability was provided by the Type 85 (one of the first 3D radars) and the HF200 Height Finders.
