Which statement best describes the function of the Signal Control/Generator Card?

• A. It provides timing and control functions for the transmitter.
• B. It receives the Master Trigger and develops all other triggers to ensure all units operate synchronously.
• C. It stores waveform data for post-processing.
• D. It powers the radar display console.

Answer: (B)

Centralized timing and synchronized triggering across the radar system. The Signal Control/Generator Card takes the Master Trigger and develops all other triggers so every unit—transmitter, receiver, and related subsystems—fires and processes data in unison. This synchronization is essential for precise pulses and aligned processing windows, ensuring coherent system operation. The other descriptions describe different roles: timing only for the transmitter, memory storage for waveform data, or powering the display, none of which cover the full coordination across all units.
