caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Antennenanlage einer Jagdschloßstellung, im Bau befindlich. Das Gerüst links im Bild gehört nicht zur Antenne English: Antenna of a World War 2 German Jagdschloss (FuMG 404) "Hunting Lodge" air defense radar under construction. It had 18 dipole radiators mounted in front of a 60 m reflective screen, and radiated a narrow vertical fan-shaped beam of 2.4 m (125 MHz) radio waves to locate enemy aircraft in azimuth. The Jagdschloss was the first radar to use a "Plan Position Indicator" (PPI) display. The scaffolding to the left is not part of the antenna. Information from Louis Brown (1999) A Radar History of World War 2, p. 200
context_page_description: Jagdschloss, officially the FuG 404, was the designation of a German early warning and battle control radar developed just prior to the start of World War II. Although it was built in limited numbers, Jadgschloss is historically important as the first radar system to feature a plan position indicator display, or "PPI". In Germany this type of display was referred to as "Panorama". It is named for Jagdschloss, a hunting lodge.
