8-F-44: Equipment Faults-1

8-44F1: When you examine the RADAR you notice that there is no target video in the center of the CRT. The blank spot gets smaller in diameter as you increase the range scale. What operator front panel control could be misadjusted?

Sensitivity Time Control (STC).

TUNE.

Anti-Clutter Rain (ACR).

False Target Elimination (FTE).



8-44F2: Range rings on the PPI indicator are oval in shape. Which circuit would you suspect is faulty?

Sweep generation circuit.

Timing circuit.

Video amplifier circuit.

Range marker circuit.



8-44F3: What would be the most likely defective area when there is no target video in the center of the CRT and the blank spot gets smaller in diameter as your range scale is increased?

The TR (TRL) Cell.

The local oscillator is misadjusted.

Video amplifier circuit.

The IF amplifier circuit.



8-44F4: While the vessel is docked the presentation of the pier is distorted near the center of the PPI with the pier appearing to bend in a concave fashion. This is a primary indication of what?

The waveguide compensation delay line needs adjusting.

The deflection coils need adjusting.

The centering magnets at the CRT neck need adjusting.

The CRT filaments are weakening.



8-44F5: In a RADAR using digital video processing, a bright, wide ring appears at a fixed distance from the center of the display on all digital ranges. The transmitter is operating normally. What receiver circuit would you suspect is causing the problem?

Video storage RAM or shift register.

VRM circuit.

Range ring generator.

EBL circuit.



8-44F6: The raster scan RADAR display has missing video in a rectangular block on the screen. Where is the most likely problem area?

Memory area failure.

Horizontal sweep circuit.

Power supply.

Vertical blanking pulse.
