[801] Into what three categories can ATC radar systems be divided?: (1) Air route traffic control radar.
(2) Terminal control area radar.
(3) Precision approach radar.
[801] In which ATC radar category is an ASR used?: Terminal control area radar.
[801] Define range resolution.: The ability of a radar system to distinguish between two close but separate targets at the same azimuth but different ranges.
[801] Define azimuth resolution.: The ability of a radar system to distinguish between two close but separate targets at the same range but different azimuths.
[801] Typically, what is the range and azimuth resolution of the PAR?: Typically range resolution is 100 feet and azimuth resolution is 1°.
[802] What is the optimum distance between ASR site and the touchdown point?: More than 1/2 mile from the touchdown point.
[802] Why is the receiver recovery time a factor in choosing an ASR site?: So that these areas do not fall within the area on the scope that is blanked out by receiver recovery time.
[802] What is the maximum allowable separation of receiver and indicator with most landline remoting equipment?: 10,000 to 12,000 feet
[802] Define the term "Runway centerline".: It is the line an aircraft follows during its landing approach that bisects the runway and extends beyond it.
[802] What is meant by the term "left of runway"?: It describes the possible PAR siting area from the view of a pilot on a landing approach.
[802] Define the term "Touchdown": An arbitary point that has been designated as the point at which an aircraft would touch the ground if it were to maintain the glide path and couse line given by the final controller during the landing procedure
[802] List the azimuth scan limits of the AN/GPN-22 (PAR).: The PAR scans 20° in azimuth, from +10° to -10° with 0° being the center of the antenna.
[802] How can more than one runway be provided radar coverage when the PAR unit has such definite scan limits?: With the use of a turntable at the base of the antenna cappable of moving 360°, bringing other runways into the radar scan.
[802] If you need to cover two runways but can provide optimum coverage for only one, how should you site the PAR?: Locate the PAR so that it gives you the best coverage to your most important runway.
[802] What is the purpose of a radar reflector?: The radar reflector provides a fixed target at precisely known position adjacent to the touchdown point of each runway. These are used to properly line up the PAR sytem to the runway under use.

[805] During the tracking cycle, how many targets can the TDC update azimuth, elevation, and slant range?: Six separate targets.
[805] Name the technique used to track the touchdown reflector as well as utilizing all six track channels.: Use of the "phantom" track channel, which is rotated and time-shared with the six other channels.
[805] Name the two off-line test programs used for diagnostics.: System Performance Assesment (SPA) and Diagnostic Test progams
[805] Which off-line test is used solely for the diagnostics of the TDC?: Diagnostic Test
[806] List the three modes of operation associated with the data loop operation.: Command, input, and output.
[806] What action does the TDC take whenever a peripheral that is addressed is busy?: The computer performs an alternate operation in order to conserve system operational time.
[806] Which mode of data loop operation allows the TDC to recieve data from a peripheral?: Input mode.
[806] How many bits are conatined in the data word from a peripheral?: 32-bits
[806] List the three different ways the repeater logic must perform in a peripheral when responding to the TDC's request.: (1) Repeat all input address, data and control signals.
(2) If the peripheral is addressed, must accept data.
(3) If the peripheral is addressed, it must put data on-line to allow a rebound to the computer.
[807] From where does the informaiton that is entered into the site parameter panel switches come from?: The initial site survey.
