AI23 radar dish

The dish was in reality two parabolic reflectors joined along the vertical edge. It was a V clever arrangement; with the four-horn feed (split two to each half of the reflector) it transmitted (at 8,500MHz - 9,000MHz) four overlapping lobes which allowed the radar (unlike contemporary conical scan radars) to use sum and difference signals to angle track from a single pulse.
