Which of the following types of radar equipment operate by means of the pulse technique?

1. Aerodrome Surface Movement Radar
2. Airborne Weather Radar
3. Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR)
4. Aerodrome Surveillance (approach) Radar

  • A
    1, 2 and 4 only
  • B
    1, 2, 3 and 4
  • C
    2, 3 and 4 only
  • D
    2 and 4 only
The pulse technique works by the transmission of pulse-modulated signals. The pulses are short-interval high-energy electromagnetic emissions. This method is used by:
  • Distance Measuring Equipment (DME): interrogator/transponder principle
  • Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR): interrogator/transponder principle
  • ATC Area or Terminal Surveillance Radar: (echo / reflection principle)
  • Airport Surface Movement Radar: echo/reflection principle
  • Airborne Weather Radar AWR: echo principle
