Task 1. Point out Absolute Constructions in the following sentences and translate them accordingly. 1. The basic concept of radar being relatively simple, its practical implementation is not.
2. A radar operates by radiating electromagnetic energy and detecting the echo returned from reflecting objects (targets) (отражение).
3. The nature of the echo signal provides information about the target, the range (or distance) to the target being found from the time it takes for the radiated energy to travel to the target and back.
4. Resolution being sufficiently high, a radar can discern (рассмотреть) target's size and shape, radar resolution being
obtained in range or angle, or both.
5. Radar resolution may be in range or angle, range resolution requiring large antennas.
6. Resolution in the cross -- range (боковоеотклонение) dimensions being not very good, it is possible to use the resolution in Doppler frequency to resole the cross -- range dimensions.
7. Being not dependent on ambient radiation, radar can detect relatively small targets at near or for distances and can measure their range.
8. Though the location of a target in range and angle having been determined by radar, the echo signal also can provide
information about the nature of the target.
9. Automatic detection and track (сопровождение) (ADT) being available, the operator is usually presented with the
processed target track rather than raw radar detections.
10. The transmitter power being radiated into space by a directive antenna, the latter immediately concentrates the energy into a narrow beam.
Task 2. Transform the given sentences into the sentences with the Nominative Absolute Participial Construction and the Prepositional Absolute Participial Construction
The pattern is:

She watched the game very attentively, with her eyes fixed on the sport ground.

4.A children's sport center was opened. After that much more children started going into different kinds of sports.
5.The game was over. There was no possibility now to even the score.
6.It has started to rain cats and dogs. Therefore, it was impossible to continue the football match.
