How to use the radar

The radar can be used according to the following configurations, chosen by the operator during flights

Transmittal timetables adapted to the altitude of the aircraft

• Around 450m (for calibration on dihedrons): called altitude mode "0"
• Around 1000 m altitude (± 100m): called altitude mode "1"
• Around 2000 m altitude (± 100m): called altitude mode "2"
• Around 3000 m altitude (± 100m): called altitude mode "3"

Antennas

• In rotation (speed chosen by operator in general 2 to 6 rpm
• In fixed sight (azimuth aiming chosen by the operator)

Choice of antennas (transmission / reception)

• On LI antenna only (antenna mode "10")
• On MI antenna only (antenna mode ("40")
• In alternation on antenna LI and MI (alternating every 30s automatically

Choice of polarization

• Always in HH for mode_antenne LI
• Either HH, VV, or alternate for MI antenna (alternating every 100 ms)
