Module Overview

Focuses on understanding the ATCR-33 receiver and its synchronization.
Requires prior completion of modules on basic radar, ATCR-33 antenna, and transmitter.

Learning Requirements

A solid grasp of basic radar principles and computer technology is necessary.
Aimed to equip learners with knowledge of receiver operations and synchronisation processes.

Module Objectives

Detailed objectives include comprehensive knowledge of the ATCR-33 synchronization system.
Understanding the system's technical manual (GP NO: 5D/557 and GP NO: 5D/558) is essential for context.

Assessment Criteria

A theoretical pass mark of 90% is required for successful module completion.
Practical assessments are part of the learning process.

Instructions for Learners

Engage with a mentor to gain hands-on experience with equipment and system layout.
Seek mentor guidance when uncertain, especially during practical training.
Complete self-tests at the module's end to evaluate understanding.

Equipment Familiarization

Importance of understanding the radar system block diagram and equipment interconnectivity.
Each system's location and functional role within the overall radar system should be noted.

Receiver Synchronization System

Synchronization is crucial for radar operation, managing clocks, triggers, and gates.
Adjustable parameters for synchronization include:
- Quartz oscillator frequency
- Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF)
- Stagger sequence
- Delays of auxiliary triggers
- Clock and trigger generators
- Auxiliary triggers and gates generators
- Pre trigger generator and diversity normalizers

Practical Considerations

Learners must be accompanied by qualified personnel during practical training.
Tampering with equipment can disrupt air traffic operations, stressing the need for caution.

Test your knowledge on the fundamentals of airspace control as covered in the apprenticeship training module. This quiz focuses on the use of electro radar systems and the ATCR-33 receiver synchronization processes. Perfect for learners looking to solidify their understanding of airspace management concepts.
