Abstract

840,425. Radar; aerials. ARMSTRONGWHITWORTH AIRCRAFT Ltd., Sir W. G. Nov. 28, 1956 [Dec. 7, 1955], No. 35046/55. Class 40 (7). In a radar system the aerial scans in a television manner and analogous scanning in a cathode-ray tube (C.R.T.) is used to present on its screen a picture of one or more distant objects in correct perspective. As applied to blind landing aircraft 9, Fig. 1 carries microwave radar equipment on whose C.R.T. 11 is produced a display, Fig. 2, corresponding to metallized rubber radar reflectors 12, 13 on the airfield runway. A " V " pattern may be used, Fig. 3 (not shown); and the aircraft display may be projected additionally on to a viewing screen at its windscreen. The display may be relayed by radio to the ground control, Fig. 4 (not shown). Radar aerial 10 may be a lowinertia reflector plate providing vertical scan relative to a " dish " or " cheese " reflector moving horizontally more quickly. In the second embodiment, Figs. 5 and 6, a missile 18 carries the radar aerial in its nose and video and synchronizing signals are sent over radio link 20 to C.R.T. display 22, thereby depicting ship 19 to a control station operator who uses device 23 and radio link 24 to control the missile. Relatively slow missile radar aerial scan and an afterglow C.R.T. are used. Electronic markers 25 synchronized with the datum position of the missile aerial may be provided on display 22.
