Surface Movement Radar - SMR Reflector

Targeted at the SMR, ASDE and A-SMGCS markets, Easat’s EA3462 High Gain Reflector is designed to provide the highest performance available, whilst minimising the weight and loading penalties often associated with reflector antennas.

This product has been chosen by several recognised National ATC authorities for reliable detection performance in poor weather conditions, typically found in regions where monsoontype rainfall, snow, sleet and ice are prevalent. The antenna can be operated with or without a radome. Offering effectively zero squint with multiple frequency, the antenna is particularly suitable for frequency-diverse, solid-state or agile systems.

The antenna provides circular polarisation as standard for excellent weather penetration, and inverse cosec2 beam shaping to enhance short-range detection, which minimises the effects of rain clutter. Polarisation switching is available as an option to provide horizontal or vertical polarisation.

Rotation up to 60 rpm is provided by the low-noise, low vibration EP0711 turning unit (with radome) and EP0009 turning unit (without radome), available in single or dual drive configurations, and with highly accurate single or dual azimuth encoders or Inductosyn®.
