  2. Marine radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_radar

    The X-Band and S-Band radar has different characteristics and detection capabilities compared with each other. [1] Most merchant ships carry at least one of each type to ensure adequate target detection and response. [1]

  3. X band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_band

    X-band radar frequency sub-bands are used in civil, military, and government institutions for weather monitoring, air traffic control, maritime vessel traffic control, defense tracking, and vehicle speed detection for law enforcement. [1] [2] X band is often used in modern radars. The shorter wavelengths of the X band provide higher-resolution ...

  4. List of radar types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_radar_types

    Marine radars are used by ships for collision avoidance and navigation purposes. The frequency band of radar used on most ships is X band (9 GHz/3 cm), but S band (3 GHz/10 cm) radar is also installed on most oceangoing ships to provide better detection of ships in rough sea and heavy rain condition.

  5. Radar signal characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_signal_characteristics

    Radar echoes, showing a representation of the carrier. Pulse width also determines the radar's dead zone at close ranges. While the radar transmitter is active, the receiver input is blanked to avoid the amplifiers being swamped (saturated) or, (more likely), damaged.

  6. AN/SPY-3 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/SPY-3

    Diagram of AN/SPY-3 vertical electronic pencil beam radar conex projections. X band functionality (8 to 12 GHz frequency range) is optimal for minimizing low-altitude propagation effects, narrow beam width for best tracking accuracy, wide frequency bandwidth for effective target discrimination, and the target illumination for SM-2 and Evolved Sea Sparrow Missiles (ESSM).

  7. Sea-based X-band radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea-based_X-band_Radar

    The Sea-Based X-band radar (SBX-1) is a floating, self-propelled, mobile active electronically scanned array early-warning radar station designed to operate in high winds and heavy seas. It was developed as part of the United States Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) Ballistic Missile Defense System.

  8. Nebo-M - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebo-M

    The Nebo-M [1] or Nebo-ME (in Cyrillic: 55Ж6МЕ «Небо-МЕ», Nebo means "sky") also known as RLM-ME or 55Zh6ME (export version) [2] is an integrated multi-functional radar system that features a multiple programmable multi-band design radars and a central data fusion. The radar began to be investigated in 1984.

  9. AN/TPY-2 transportable radar - Wikipedia

    TPY-2 radar in travelling configuration View from the back on a deployed TPY-2 radar. The AN/TPY-2 Surveillance Transportable Radar, also called the Forward Based X-Band Transportable (FBX-T) is a long-range, very high-altitude active digital antenna array [1] [2] X band surveillance radar designed to add a tier to existing missile and air defence systems.
