Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry

DEF

A radarscope display in which targets appear as vertical deflections from a line that represents a time base.

OBS

Target distance is proportional to the horizontal position of the deflection from one end of the time base, and target echo signal intensity is proportional to the amplitude of the vertical deflection. On some scopes the display is rotated 90°, so the time base is vertical and the signal pips increase from left to right horizontally.
