AN/TPS-25A, LP Radar Set
SYSTEM PARAMETERS
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The AN/TPS-25 is a battlefield surveillance radar which may be
Frequency: 9.375 GHz
Power: 43 W average
operated in either of two modes; search or track. This system
45 kW PEP
utilizes a 1 x 0.5 m parabolic reflector antenna.
HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)
SYSTEM HAZARDS
Power Density Levels (PDL)....
This system is able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in excess of 5x the safety
standard and requires a formal RFR program to ensure its safe use.  Establish a
Nonionizing Radiation Protection Program (IAW guidelines provided in this TB) .
Operate this system at reduced power when practical.
Hazard distance from antenna...
Exclude personnel to a distance of 16 m in the direction of the main beam. Locate the
antenna outside the shop with the main beam directed away from occupied areas.
Open/cracked waveguides.....
All open waveguides and feed horn outputs produce potentially hazardous PDLs within
close proximity. Exclude personnel from these areas and check waveguide portion of this
system periodically for breaks or cracks, and replace any suspect waveguide.
Other................................
Consult the equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or maintenance hazards.
Specify the use of dummy loads during maintenance operations.

AN/TPS-33A Radar Set
SYSTEM PARAMETERS
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The AN/TPS-33 is a ground surveillance radar which utilizes a
Frequency: 9.375 GHz
Power: 4.5 W average
reflector antenna.
7 kW PEP
SYSTEM HAZARDS
HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)
Power Density Levels (PDL)....
This system is able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in excess of the safety
standard.  Establish a Nonionizing Radiation Protection Program (IAW guidelines
provided in this TB) .
Hazard distance from antenna...
Exclude personnel to a distance of 1.5 m in the direction of the main beam.
Open/cracked waveguides.....
All open waveguides and feed horn outputs produce potentially hazardous PDLs within
close proximity. Exclude personnel from these areas and check waveguide portion of this
system periodically for breaks or cracks, and replace any suspect waveguide.
Other................................
Consult the equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or maintenance hazards.
