F-16 AN/APG-68 Fire Control Radar (FCR) operations and high power radar output signals are controlled by the Programmable Signal Processor (PSP). The Dual Mode Transmitter (DMT) uses a driver TWT to develop low level or high level peak power radar transmit signals. The amplified RF energy is applied to the FCR antenna for transmission. Low and high power levels are developed by the DMT TWT, which operates at various pulse width and repetition rate combinations. This allows a wide range of average power for each mode of operation that transmits RF energy from the Radar system into the target area and receives RF energy from the target area for Radar system processing The specific TWT�s requiring repair are as follows:� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � CDEEU Configurations � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ��FSC� � � � �NIIN� � � � �MMAC� � � �Part # � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 5960�� �013415198�� �WF�� �585R224H04 � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 7025�� �011538780�� �WF�� �585R224H03 Contract repair is required, and additional sources requested, for the TWT.� Perspective sources will be required to develop repair and testing capability for the TWT.
