13. Aircraft aerodynamics, structures and systems

To improve the image or picture when using the WRX (weather radar receiver)

  • scan at a lower rate
  • use shorter bursts
  • use longer bursts

Explanation from PART66Online

Using shorter transmitted pulses (bursts) improves the weather radar's range resolution, so closely spaced returns are displayed as separate, sharper targets. Longer pulses smear adjacent returns together, degrading the picture; shorter bursts therefore give a cleaner, better-defined image.
