Abstract:

Radar interface modifications were installed at the Elwood, New Jersey, air route surveillance radar-2 ARSR-2 site. These radar interface modifications included a log intermediate frequency strip, radiofrequency sensitivity time constant generator, video processor, and channel change unit. A series of technical tests were run at the Elwood site to obtain pertinent information on the performance of the radar interface modification. It was concluded that the moving target indicator performance of the video processor was inadequate. The log normal video proved to be a stable video.
