WX RDR Interface
3.5.1
Applicable Part Numbers
This function is only available when the optional KSN 7xx WX RDR/EGPWS option board is installed
and the associated product feature key is installed.
and the associated product feature key is installed.
When the WX RDR is not connected to the KSN 7xx, the pins must be left open.
3.5.2
Function
Radar is a method for locating thunderstorms using radio waves. The radar transmitter generates
microwave energy in the form of pulses which are then transferred to the antenna where they are
focused into a beam by the antenna and radiated. When the beam intercepts a target, the energy is
reflected as an echo back to the antenna. It is then transferred to the receiver and processing circuits
in the receiver/transmitter unit. These echoes are displayed on the KSN 7xx.
