The application of high-performance integrated circuits for airport fire control radars

The number of functional modes needed for airport fire control radars, together with the need for high-performance characteristics, indicates that high-performance integrated circuits will have significant applications in such radar. It is shown that multi-function and multi-mode radars which combine air-to-air combat, air-to-ground and air-to-sea modes will comprise the basis for the next generation of fire control radars. Other applications for such radars are shown to include anti-collision, air navigation and air-to-air pursuit modes.
