	Würzburg radar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In January 1934 Telefunken met with German radar researchers, notably Dr. Rudolf Kühnhold of the Communications Research Institute of the German Navy and Dr. Hans Hollmann, an expert in microwaves, who informed them of their work on an early warning radar.
		The first, Würzburg A, was operated manually and required the operators to pinpoint the target by maintaining a maximum signal on their oscilloscope display.
		Since the signal strength changed on its own for various reasons as well as being on or off target, this was not very accurate, and generally required the use of a searchlight to spot the target once the radar had settled on an approximate position.

		For the Germans, this is very important as most of their radar was being thoroughly jammed most of the time.
		The Germans also had a fully developed surface search/tracking radar with a 80cm Wavelength, ahead of the RN, and the Wurzburg was an accurate tracking radar with a 53cm wavelength for great accuracy.
		German radar wasn't properly jammed until RV Jones had done some serious snooping, the Brunveal raid was a result of his work.

	RCM vs Wurzburg
		The density of these radars is such that Allied bomber groups are normally tracked simultaneously by half a dozen, while 12 or 14 may be brought to bear over the target (in a post-war US research report by Division 15, they gave figures of up to 20 radars focussing on each aircraft, AOB).
		Wurzburg frequencies were formally concentrated in a band of 10 mcs wide.
		Radar at left is probably the one tracking flight from which this photo was taken.

	Yves Rocard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He became particularly interested in the detection of solar radio emissions by English Radar, which were causing military problems by jamming detection during periods of high emission, and was able to create a new radio navigational beam station.
		Whilst there he founded a radio observatory, having obtained two German "Wurzburg" Radar mirrors from the war.
		From 1947 he became scientific advisor to the French military on the subject of atomic energy, eventually taking over from Frédéric Joliot-Curie after his dismissal.

		There is also a big radar bunker on the beach, it is broken into two big pieces but still impressive.
		Most of the bunkers belonged to a Luftwaffe Stutzpunkt, most of the bunkers are open except the two emplacemenst, L4091, the radar bunker from the type L486 looks very impressive now when it has broken apart.
		The Mammut radar bunker is closed and intergrated in the boulevard, only the places where the radar stood are visible.

	M.J.B.Scanlan
		Early in 1943, after the Bruneval raid on a German 'Wurzburg' radar station, concern was felt about a possible reprisal raid on a British station.
		There were formal lectures on the theory of the system, and on the operation of each unusual circuit, for example, the time-base.
		Radar mechanics were poorly served on the whole: if they arrived at a station with unfamiliar equipment, there was much less time or opportunity for them to learn.

	Early Operations (Tragino Aqueduct and Bruneval)
		The aim of Operation Biting was to dismantle a Wurzburg precision radar dish, which was one of a series of early warning installations on the north coast of France, and bring it back to England for scientific research.
		Admiral Lord Mountbatten had proposed the raid, after it became clear that this established chain of radar stations was of significant importance to the Luftwaffe, who were inflicting heavy losses on RAF Bomber command.
		But the radar posts were heavily defended against attack from the sea with machine guns looking down onto the beach and hidden barbed wire surrounding the radars.

		The bunkers lay in a field, some of the bunkers lay on private property and the owner doesn't like bunker visitors but we managed to visit several bunkers that were in the field.
		We have found a L486, two emplacements and a Wurzburg radar emplacement, there was another bunker that we have found but it was at the private property so we couldn't come near it.

		Intelligence had identified the location as one of an increasing number of radar sites in Occupied Europe, but important technical details of the equipment's capabilities were needed to develop counter-measures, especially for Bomber Command aircraft.
		His 120 men were accompanied by an RAF Flight Sergeant radar technician, who had never parachuted before, to inspect the radar in situ, and a team of Royal Engineers.
		However, the Wurzburg was captured, along with one of its operators, and Flight Sergeant Cox identified the essential parts of the radar to be carried down to the waiting landing craft.

	wurzburg
		Giant Wurzburg radar units were used for fighter-control in the German defensive system against the Allied bombing offensive from 1942 until the end of the Second World War.
		The radar units were operated in pairs, one being used to track an Allied target bomber and the second unit controlling a defending German fighter.
		Research and Development (RandD) in radar (or radio detection finding (RDF) as it was called until 1944), proceeded in Germany in the 1920s; then became parallel in Britain and Germany in the 1930s.

		Aug 18, 2003 - 01:12 PM The radar in question is the experimental FuMG (FLAK) 39 TA "Wurzburg" location/identification radar developed by Telefunken, which went into service with the Luftwaffe's Anti-Aircraft Artillery batteries as the FuMG 62.
		The Radar map is distantly based on Operation "Biting" (28th February 1942), a raid on a radar test site at Bruneval, near Le Havre on the coast of Normandy.
		The raid was carried out by men from C Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Parachute Brigade, and was entirely successful, stealing vital components and intelligence that gave Britain an edge in the technology war that helped with the air war that ultimately helped win the ground war.

		The first decisive improvement was effected by the appearance of the "Wurzburg A" radar set.
		On 16 October 1940, the first set of the Wurzburg A type was installed for operation in nightfighting in the neighborhood of Zytphon, Holland.
		As still more sets became available, a third "Wurzburg" set was placed at the rear edge of each searchlight battalion, in order to have the same advantage on return flights.

		In one of the most daring raids of the war, they seized, and brought back to England, vital components of a German 'Wurzburg' radar installation.
		Radar was one of the key, high-technology battlegrounds of the war.
		Major John Dutton Frost, led a company of the Parachute Regiment on the famous Bruneval Raid on the French coast after the secrets of the Wurzburg radar- the first significant British airborne action.

	Bruneval
		The second, subdivided into three sections and commanded by Frost, was to seize a nearby villa and the Wurzburg and the third, led by Lieutenant John Timothy, was to act as a rearguard and reserve.
		I corresponded with D.H. (Don) Preist (not 'Priest' as in most accounts of the raid) who was the radar expert designated to ensure that the crucial components of the Wurzburg were recovered.
		Flt Sgt Cox, often described as a "radar expert" was a highly skilled radar technician who supervised the actual dismantling of the Wurzburg but he had nothing like Preist's in-depth knowledge of radar in general and so was far less of a risk should he be captured.

		By 1939 Chain Home radar stations were established across the south of England, their cathode ray tubes showing the range of aircraft up to 75 miles out to sea and allowing their operators to locate the position of approaching bomber raids
		Once radar was established in the military its applications began to expand within the civilian world.Â Radar detection of storms started in the US in 1943; radar control of civil flights started in Britain in 1946.Â And that year Percy LeBaron Spencer of the Raytheon Company accidentally discovered the microwave oven.
		Whittle was an RAF cadet when he wrote an influential paper on future developments in aircraft design in 1928.Â His 1930 patent for a turbojet engine, though, brought him little practical support, and even generated hostility.Â His health suffered, his patent expired and by 1935 he had almost lost hope.

	Bruneval Report
		The matched filter, usually found in the IF stage of a radar receiver, has a frequency response function that maximizes the output signal-to-noise ratio, which means maximizing detection.
		Fortunately, the matched filter confirmed the practice of the early radar engineers who made the receiver bandwidth equal to the reciprocal of the radar pulse width.
		An other interesting point is the high pulse repetition frequency of the Wurzburg radar, it made a visibility factor less than 1 possible.
