2.1 ANTENNA AND RECEIVER-TRANSMITTER

The RT-1601 Receiver-Transmitter generates 10 KW pulses of X-band
energy. Reflected signals of weather, search and beacon modes received
by the antenna are amplified and sent to the radar display indicator.
The flat-panel antenna, which is available in diameters of 10, 12 or 18
inches scans 60 or 120 degrees. Swept by a motor-driven gear train, the
vertical component is positioned by the tilt control on the Radar Control
Panel (RCP or CP-113k). A stabilization system presents an upright radar
display while the aircraft is turning, climbing or descending.
