Abstract
Sensitivity time control (STC) data for an airborne weather radar system is provided as a function of aircraft altitude and radar system antenna tilt angle to normalize radar return signals at high as well as low aircraft altitudes. In one form of the invention the STC data is used to adjust the gain of a signal applied to a radar system received by a system antenna and in another form of the invention the STC data is used to establish a desired threshold for said signal.
