TARGET SIZE: A measure of the ability of a radar target to reflect energy to the radar receiving antenna. The
parameter used to describe this ability is the "radar cross section" of the target. The size (or radar cross section) of a target,
such as an aircraft, will vary considerably as the target maneuvers and presents different views to the radar. A side view
will normally result in a much larger radar cross section than a head-on view. See also Radar Cross Section.
TARGET RESOLUTION: The ability of a radar to distinguish between two or more targets that are close to each other.
TERMINAL IMPEDANCE: The equivalent impedance as seen by the transmitter/receiver. [RF Terminator Manufacturers]
TERRAIN BOUNCE: Term for jamming that is directed at the earth's surface where it is reflected toward the
threat radar.
THERMISTOR: A resistor whose resistance varies with temperature in a defined manner. The word is formed
from the two words "thermal" and "resistor," [Thermistor Manufacturers]
THRESHOLD ISR: The interference to signal ratio (ISR) at which the performance of a receiver starts undergoing
degradation.
THYRATRON: Gas tube used as a modulator switching device.
