A new kind of L-band long-range surveillance radar family designed not only for air traffic control and air defense but also for shipboard air defense.... The radar's features include a high-gain, low-sidelobe, shaded beam antenna; a master oscillator power amplification transmitter with a combination of a solid state amplifier and wide-band klystron; and a wideband receiver with low noise and three channels. Quadraphase coded pulse compression techniques are employed. The digital target extractor can extract, process, and report the target data automatically. 1, record 3, English, - digital%20target%20extractor

La modulation introduite sur le signal émis revêt deux fonctions distinctes visant à une meilleure interprétation du signal reçu. L'introduction d'un codage peut permettre de distinguer le signal acquis du bruit de fond ou d'émissions parasites (systèmes de brouillage). Une modulation linéaire en fréquence crée une sorte de variation Doppler artificielle, qui permet d'accroître la résolution en distance, grâce à un traitement approprié. 3, record 5, French, - modulation%20lin%C3%A9aire%20en%20fr%C3%A9quence
