ABSTRACT:
An automatic horizontal and vertical scanning radar for aircraft for displaying weather conditions includes an antenna system mounted in the aircraft for sweeping horizontally and vertically in response to horizontal and vertical drive signals and for transmitting radar signals forwardly of the aircraft and receiving back reflected radar signals, a receiver for digitizing received reflected radar signals, a storage unit for storing the digitized signals, a display unit responsive to display control signals for displaying a plan view image of weather conditions ahead of the aircraft represented by reflected radar signals received by the antenna system sweeping back and forth horizontally and a vertical view image of weather conditions represented by reflected radar signals received by the antenna system moving up and down vertically, and a control unit for supplying horizontal and vertical drive signals to the antenna system, and for producing control signals from the stored digitized signals.
