AN/FPS-60

AN/FPS-60 was an height finder radar operating in the L-band with two transmitters, which could operate in simplex with only one transmitter or duplex mode with both transmission pulses transmitted close behind each other as frequency diversity radar. The radar was mainly used in air traffic control with the AN/FPS-20 radar.
