AN/TPQ-T4 Radar Set

AN/TPQ-T4 Radar Set

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AN/TPQ-T4 is a tactical radar threat generator (TRTG) which simulates

Frequency: 14.9 GHz

Power: 29.5 W

signals from anti-aircraft gun radars and surface-to-air missile radars. This

system utilizes a parabolic antenna and is mounted to the roof of the system

shelter.

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 5 m in the direction of the main beam.

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

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

Specify use of dummy loads in maintenance operations.

AN/TPS-1D, 1G, 1GLP Radar Set

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

The AN/TPS-1 is a high-power transportable air-search radar

Frequency: 1220 - 1350 MHz

Power: 492 W average

set used for detecting aircraft and determining their azimuth

615 kW PEP

and range. This system utilizes a 4.57 m parabolic antenna.

SYSTEM HAZARDS

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

Power Density Levels (PDL)....

In the scanning mode, this system is not able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in

excess of the safety standard. In the non scanning mode, 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 5 m in the direction of the main beam. Since the

antenna is above ground level, personnel on the ground are not exposed to potentially

hazardous PDLs.

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

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