Aeroflex-IFR RD-301A Weather Radar Test Set
Effective Peak Power (EFF), displayed on the Panel Meter located on the front panel, quantifies the effects of phase modulation in the magnetron replacing the requirement for the use of a spectrum analyzer. The EFF function allows the operator to choose the optimum tracking frequency in the presence of modes and phase pulling in the magnetron pulse. Using the EFF meter function in conjunction with the heterodyne monitor output verifies the frequency tracking accuracy of the test set, replacing the need for the echo box which is used for AFC centering.
