How Radar Works?
Radar sets produce radio signals. They radiate (send out) these
signals into space with a transmitter.
When a radio signal strikes an object such as an airplane, part of the
signal is reflected back to the radar antenna. The signal is picked up
there as a radar echo.
Radar set changes the radar echo into an image that can be seen on a
screen. Radar set also gives the direction of the target and its
distance from the set.
Classification of ATC Services
There are 3 control components of ATC and one support component.
