Dual Feed Parabolic Antenna
581937 (9604-A0)
The Dual Feed Parabolic Antenna mounts on the rotating
antenna pedestal and is fully compatible with the miniature
plug-in RF quick connector. The dual-feed horns are connected
to a microwave SPDT switch that allows alternating transmission
and reception of the signal from each horn through the single
rotary joint of the antenna pedestal. Switch control is achieved
by superimposing a DC bias on the transmitted RF signal. The
antenna beams formed by each horn are squinted in azimuth to
allow lobe switching (sequential lobing) target tracking.

Pulse Compression Radar Antenna
592570 (9604-B0)
The Radar Pulse Compression Antenna mounts on the rotating
antenna pedestal and is fully compatible with the miniature
plug-in RF quick connector. It uses an offset-feed design to
reduce masking effects. It also comprises a low-lost cable for
adding delay in pulse-compression exercises.
