Radar Before the Magnetron - Video and Discussion

Chain Home Transmitter
|
Chain Home was the codename for the ring of coastal Early Warning radar stations built by the British before and during the Second World War.
The system otherwise known as AMES Type 1 (Air Ministry Experimental Station) consisted of radar fixed on top of a radio tower mast, called a 'station' to provide long-range detection of aircraft.
The Chain Home system was fairly primitive, since — in order to be battle-ready — it had been rushed into production by Sir Robert Watson-Watt's Air Ministry research station near Bawdsey.
Although simple, Chain Home could determine distance and direction of incoming aircraft formations. The method was called Radio Direction Finding (RDF), later called "radar" (RAdio Direction And Ranging). Most stations were also able to measure the angle of elevation of the formation which, together with the range, gave the height.
