SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AN/TSQ-152 is a mobile information collection system

Frequency: 225 400 MHz (AN/TRD-27) (DFS)

consists of two subsystems; the Collection and Processing

30 70 MHz (AN/VRC-46) (CPS)

Subsystem (CPS) and the Direction Finding Subsystem (DFS). The

2 30 MHz (chirpsounder mode)

CPS consists of eight Signal Control Shelters (AN/TRR-36), two

1.6 30 MHz (communications mode)

Command and Control Shelters (AN/TSY-1), and two Signal

Analysis Shelters (AN/TSX-1) which utilize an omnidirectional

Power: 8 or 35 W average (CPS)

antenna. The DFS consists of four Operational Shelters (AN/TRD-

30 or 100 W average (AN/TRD-27) (CPS)

27) and four Communications/Chirpsounder Shelters (AN/TRQ-41)

8 or 35 W average (AN/VRC-46)

which are configured in pairs. These systems utilize a collinear

100 W (chirpsounding mode)

array and omnidirectional antenna; and a dual-element vee, Harris

150 W (communications mode)

RT-1446, whip and RT-1288 antenna, respectively.

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...

When utilizing the RT-1288 UHF antenna, exclude personnel to distances of 1 m from

the antenna. When utilizing the RT-1446 antenna, exclude personnel to distances of 4 m

from the antenna. When utilizing the chirpsounder antenna, exclude personnel to

distances of 0.5 m from the antenna. Because of the placement of antennas in this

system, no radiation hazard will exist in normally occupied areas.

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

Observe standard RF shock precautions. Do not touch any system antenna when

energized.

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

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