Which elevation value defines the radar's search sector?

Which elevation value defines the radar's search sector?

• A. 30°
• B. 60°
• C. 72°
• D. 45°

Answer: (C)

Radar search sector is the vertical range the radar actively scans, determined by the antenna’s elevation tilt. The value that defines this sector is the maximum elevation the radar reaches in its search, which sets how high above the horizon the system can look. In this setup, 72° is that upper limit, so it defines the extent of the vertical search. The other elevations would imply smaller vertical coverage and aren’t the defined sector for this system.
