Typical System Configuration<br />
Antenna and Rotator<br />
The <strong>IFF</strong> antenna design complements the features and performance<br />
capabilities of the interrogator’s transmitter and receiver. Sum and<br />
Difference R.F. signal inputs provide antenna beam sharpening and<br />
interrogation side lobe suppression for clutter reduction.<br />
The antenna rotator is a weather-tight aluminum casting with stainless<br />
steel hardware for harsh environments. The modular design allows for<br />
rapid maintenance with minimum down time. A two speed motor<br />
rotates the antenna providing data updates at either a 2 or 4 second<br />
rate.<br />
Interrogator<br />
The Digital Interrogator transmits 2 KW minimum at 1030 ±0.2 MHz<br />
and receives the transponder reply at 1090 ±0.5MHz. Four Selective<br />
Identification Feature (SIF) modes are provided including Modes 1,2,3<br />
and C interrogation pulse groups. Measurement of the round-trip time<br />
determines the range to the replying target, while the boresight of the<br />
interrogator antenna determines the azimuth direction. Typical range<br />
accuracy is 378 feet with transponder delay time dominating overall<br />
error.<br />
<strong>IFF</strong> Processor<br />
Digital data from the interrogator is transmitted to the <strong>IFF</strong> processor via<br />
an Ethernet connection. The processor displays all targets detected by<br />
the interrogator on a PPI scope over a map of the region and allows the<br />
operator to select any target for radar acquisition. The acquisition data<br />
is passed on in the proper format to the slave processor.<br />
