The purpose of the Synchronizer is to:
• Basic radar block diagram (magnetron, modulator, synchronizer, indicator) • Relationship between pulse repetition rate (PRR / PRF) and the timing of all radar functions • What the modulator does versus what the synchronizer does
• In a radar set, which component is responsible for setting the basic "clock" or master timing that everything else follows? • Which part actually creates the high‑power pulse for the magnetron, and which part just tells it when to do things and how often? • Think about which function would affect how frequently pulses are transmitted, not their shape or power.
• Know that the synchronizer is often called the radar’s master timer or clock. • Differentiate between modulating the magnetron (power pulse creation) and timing control (when events occur). • Confirm which function is tied to pulse repetition rate (PRR/PRF) rather than to pulse width or TR tube operation.
