Figure 2-1. Simplified Block Diagram
The trigger pulse from the DU board is modulated at the MD board to oscillate the magnetron.
The echo received by the antenna is amplified by the IF amplifier and is fed to the DU board as a
video signal. The DU board converts the analog signal to digital signal and processes to display
it on the LCD.
Bearing pulse (BP) and heading signal (HD) are generated in the scanner unit and received by
the DU Board in the display unit.
