SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

Frequency: 4.4 5.0 GHz

Power: 2.0 kW PEP

The AN/TRC-175 compact, communications terminal set which

utilizes two AN/GRC-144 Radio Sets. The terminal set utilizes a

1.44 m diameter reflector antenna.

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

SYSTEM HAZARDS

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

This system is not able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in excess of the safety

standard.

Open/cracked waveguides.......

All open waveguides produce potentially hazardous PDLs within 2.5 cm. 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.
