Burst pulse alignment

Figure 1. Burst pulse alignment tool

You can check the quality assessment of the transmit burst pulse and its precise alignment at range 0:

  • Manually, with the burst pulse alignment tool

    This is often done from a central maintenance site.

  • Automatically, with the burst pulse auto-track feature

    This makes the automatic frequency control (AFC) robust to start-up temperature changes and pulse width changes that can affect the magnetron frequency.

Quality assessments perform a 2D search in both time and frequency space if a valid burst pulse is undetected.
