11 Radar Systems of Air Transport
Fig. 11.1. Moisture targets detection
Fig. 11.2. Surveillance of ground and water surface
on multi-function display (MFD). Reflected signals, coming from different zones
of ground surface and above ground installations (AGI), are displayed on screen in
variously colors (Fig. 11.4):
• green—ground surface background;
• red—above ground installations (radar-contrasting images);
• black—water basins against background of ground surface or shadow area.
As an example, the Russian “Buran” WNRS of An-148 aircraft is represented
in Fig. 11.5. WNRS consists of three structurally packaged blocks: antenna (1),
transmitter–receiver (2), multi-function display (3). (Fig 11.3)
Waveguide antenna is mounted under radio transparent radome in fuselage nose
section (Fig. 11.6) or in special container. Transceiver is interfaced with antenna via
