SCANTER 1002 Radar System
User’s Manual
1255194-HO
Communication interface to the transceiver is established via a standard IP net-
work (LAN or WAN), which provides network radar video, plots, tracks, control, etc.
Service information is obtained via the IP network.
The SCANTER Service Display (Radar Service Tool) provides an easy interface for
controlling the radar and gives detailed status and diagnostics information from the
Built-in Test Equipment (BITE). It also provides access to powerful radar imaging
and tracking information.
2.1
System components
The SCANTER 1002 Radar System is mounted in an enclosure consisting of a
radome and a sun cover (see
Fig. 2.2 (p. 12)
). The system consists of the following
main assemblies and modules:
•
Antenna system including antenna radiating the RF power (and subsequently
receiving the radar echoes), and antenna motor including azimuth encoder,
rotary joint and waveguide filter
•
Transceiver including power supply module (PSU Module), transceiver module
(TR Module), processing and control module (PC Module), Motor Controller
Module, bottom plate with internal/external interfaces, and top plate holding
antenna system and GPS antenna
The antenna is a parabolic reflector with a horizontally polarized pencil beam.
It has a beam width of <4 degrees in azimuth, and the gain of the beam is >= 32 dBi.
