Aircraft Radar Systems: Introduction into Pulsed Radio Principles

By Bruce Bessette

This updated book covers aircraft systems that operate using pulsed radio principles. These systems include; onboard weather radar, Air Traffic Control Reply Beacon System (ATCRBS), Distance Measuring Equipment, and Radar Altimeter. Included in this book are systems that receive inputs from the described systems that are; Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS), Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance version B (ADS-B). The format of the book is a classroom guide design to allow the students to follow along with course content for the ATT 205/6 course given at Pima Community College in Tucson AZ. Not all of the lecture the course is in the book. It will be up to the student to make notes during the lecture. This color book has the slides used in the lecture and includes the six worksheets required for the course. This book is being made available to the public to help those technicians already working in aviation and desire to learn about avionics in a simple format that will coincide with the real world experience they might be working. This book can introduce the world of air carrier aircraft to those who wish to work for the airlines. All of the systems described in this book are required today for commercial operators.
