AN/FPN-66 Radar Terminal Set

AN/FPN-66 Radar Terminal Set

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AN/FPN-66 is an aircraft surveillance radar that utilizes

Frequency: 2.7 2.9 GHz

Power: 600 W average

a prime-fed parabolic reflector type antenna. This system is

normally installed on an elevated tower and operates in a 360

degree continuous scan mode.

SYSTEM HAZARDS

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

In the normal mode of operation, this system is not subject to radiation protection

control. In the nonscanning mode this system is able to produce PDLs in excess of the

standard. Establish a Nonionizing Radiation Protection Program (IAW guidelines

provided in this TB) .

Hazard distance from antenna ....

In the nonscanning mode, exclude personnel to a distance of 25 m from the antenna.

Direct the fixed beam away from potentially occupied areas within the 25 m range of

control.

Open/cracked waveguides .......

The area between the feed and the reflector and any open waveguide produce extremely

high PDLs. Exclude personnel from these areas and do not permit operation of this

system with any cracked, broken or open waveguide.

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

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

Terminate all waveguide transmissions into dummy loads during maintenance

operations.

AN/FPS-36 Radar Set

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AN/FPS-36 is a surveillance radar that utilizes a truncated

Frequency: 1.22 1.35 GHz

Power: 400 W average

parabolic reflector type antenna.

SYSTEM HAZARDS

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

In the normal mode of operation, this system is not able to produce PDLs in excess of

the standard. In the nonscanning mode this system is not able to produce PDLs in excess

of the standard.

Open/cracked waveguides .......

The area between the antenna feed horn and the reflector and any open waveguide

produce extremely high PDLs. Exclude personnel from these areas and do not permit

operation of this system with any cracked, broken or open waveguide.

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

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