AN/TSQ-144 GUARDRAIL V Remote Relay System

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AN/TSQ-144 consists of two elements, the Mobile Relay Facility (MRF) and the

Power: 10 W; 35 W PEP

Ground Processor Interface. The MRF has eight radiating elements associated with it; five

"Fat Dipoles", two log periodic antennas, and one whip antenna. All of the antennas, with

the exception of the whip, are mounted on 10 m masts. The whip is roof-edge mounted on

the transmitter control van.

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 ....

When utilizing the whip antenna, exclude personnel to distances of 50 cm from the

antenna. When utilizing the other seven antennas, exclude personnel to distances of 60

cm from the antenna. Because of the placement of antennas in this system, no radiation

hazard will exist in normally occupied areas.

Other.................................

Consult the equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or maintenance hazards.
