A radar system embeds information into the radar picture data for display on any display device. The radar receiver communicates weather data to a signal processor which generates a weather array. An I/O processor transmits data in the weather array to a display device via a picture bus. Alphanumeric data which is to be embedded into or combined with the weather array is stored in a message array. Font information for each alphanumeric character is stored in a font array. The message array and the font array are combined and translated into a text array which corresponds to the weather array. Prior to transmitting each radial of data to the display device, the I/O processor copies the appropriate radial data from the text array to the weather array thereby causing the desired alphanumeric characters to be displayed on the display device.

Method and apparatus for universal display of alphanumeric data on radar

A radar display having particular utility in search and rescue radar systems, employs a computer receiving inputs indicative of aircraft altitude, radar beam tilt angle and radar beam bandwidths to provide signals to the display indicative of where the radar beam intersects the surface under investigation.
