Mounting the Sensor (continued)
Avoiding Other Sources of Radiation
There should be as much vertical separation as possible between the RadaScan Sensor and any
X-Band radar or Artemis systems, to prevent the RadaScan signal from being jammed.
Wherever possible, the RadaScan Sensor should
not
be installed at the same vertical level as an
X-Band radar or Artemis scanner.
If vertical separation of the two systems is impossible, they
must be shielded
from one another with
a metal screen. The screen must be large enough to physically shield the RadaScan sensor from the
whole width of the x-band/Artemis antenna. In some cases, the vessel’s metal superstructure may be
used to provide part or all of the shielding between the two systems.
The RadaScan Sensor does not need to be shielded from radar-based systems mounted on other
vessels or structures.
