Upmast Radar System

Kelvin Hughes (Enfield, UK) offers a carbon composite housing for its SharpEye™ radar system. With coherent transmission and Doppler processing, the system separates targets from clutter, resulting in greatly improved situational awareness, even in adverse weather conditions. A lightweight antenna turning unit and transceiver housing is resistant to shock, vibration, and corrosion. The technology also features a low Radar Cross Section (RCS) design and a GaN-transistor Transceiver.

SharpEye™ is an upmast system resulting in virtually no signal loss in the interconnecting waveguide between the antenna and transceiver. The use of a synchronous motor has removed the need for a gearbox, with the antenna rotation rate being controlled electronically. Peak power has increased from 200W to up to 300W.
