AN/AKT-18B Radar Data Transmitting Set (part of the AN/UPD-2, 7)

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AN/AKT-18B is an airborne radio system that utilizes an omnidirectional blade

Frequency: 225 400 MHz

type antenna.

Power: 30 W average; PEP 100 W

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 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 90 cm from the antenna. During normal operation of

this system, personnel are not subjected to a radiation hazard due to the use and location

of the antenna.

RF shock/burn .....................

Observe standard RF shock precautions. Do not touch the antenna when energized.

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

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