Describes Toshiba's L-band high-power klystron radar with improved clutter suppression technique. The new air route surveillance radar, ARSR, designed for air traffic control automatization and possessing extremely high performance, compared with that of conventional units. It also has excellent reliability factors and maintenance ease. Toshiba has completed the new ARSR and installed units in Tohoku and Hokkaido districts, in 1975 and in early 1977, respectively. The ARSR is a long range radar which can monitor further than 200 nautical miles (374 km) and higher than 70000 feet (21 km) elevation region. The ARSR can detect aircraft echo signals alone by suppressing such undesirable signals as clutter, so that the false alarm rate can be reduced as much as possible, clearing computer processings. The system block diagram is shown.
