Download or read book Fundamentals of Ground Radar for Air Traffic Control Engineers and Technicians written by Ronald D. Bouwman and published by SciTech Publishing. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a standard reference for FAA and military air traffic control engineers and maintenance technicians focused on ground-based radar systems. With the evolution and increasing sophistication of modern radar systems, now more than ever a single-source reference is needed that contains simply understandable information on MTI, MTD, and Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon systems. There is a downside to the drive away from knowledge-based problem solving...massive increases in costs and waste inherent in the idea of lowest replaceable units. Fewer technicians are expected to manage more systems while knowing less about their equipment. This unique training and reference text will not only provide answers for day-to-day tasks, it will also help allay cost increases and waste.
