Term
What does RADAR stand for
Definition
RADAR stand for Radio Detection and Range
Term
Discuss the Doppler Effect
Definition
Apparent change in frequency or pitch when a sound source moves either toward or away from the listener
Term

Defin the following

 

Echo

Definition
the reflection of the original sound wave as it bounces off a distant surface
Term

Defin the following

 

Sea Return

Definition
target echoes created from radar strikes when energy is reflected off the waves at various angles away from the ship, Rogher seas = more sea return
Term

Defin the following

 

Clutter

Definition
term used for unwanted echoes in radar systems
Term

Defin the following

 

Ground Clutter

Definition
returns from georgaphical land masses are generally stationary
Term

Defin the following

 

Sea Clutter

Definition
distrubing radar echoes of sea wave crests. Sea clutter is very difficult to control without some loss in detection
Term

Defin the following

 

 

Rang

Definition
The length of a straight line between a radar set and a target
Term

Defin the following

 

Amplitude

Definition
Displacment from undistubed position of medium to top of a crest (strenght of signal)

Term

Define the following

 

Cycle

Definition
One full wavelength of a wave represents one complete cycle
Term

Define the following

 

Ground Wave

Definition

radio waves that travel near surface of earth (2 Typer)

 

Surface wave: Reaches the receiving site by traveling along surface of the ground

 

Space Wave: follows two distinct paths from transmitting antenna to receiving antenna, one through air directly to receiving antenna, the other reflected from groung to reciving antenna

Term

Define the following

 

Sky Wave

Definition
Radio waves that are reflected back to earth from ionosphere
Term

Define the following

 

Reflection

Definition
waves that are neither transmitted nor absorbed, but are reflected
Term
3 basic characteristics of sound
Definition

A. Pitch: frequency of wave

B. Intensity: Amplitude of the waves

C. clarity of the wave

Term

characteristics of an antenna

 

Reciprocity

Definition
interchangeability of the same antenna for transmitting and receiving
Term

Define
