Sommario/riassunto

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.
