An Industrial Design and Implementation Approach of Secondary Surveillance Radar System

Abstract

This work provides a new demonstration of most of the important keys to interface the design, and implementation of the secondary surveillance radar (SSR) system, with industrial considerations to achieve a competitive SSR product. We describe the specifications, the design and implementation of real-time SSR radar system with a stand-alone interrogator. The investigation is that specializing in the economical design ideas for SSR systems by formulating the concepts of an advanced design, the requirements of the system engineering design and the disciplinary perspective for radar production. The feasibility study includes the design procedures, schematics, simulation with suitable Computer-aided design tool. The motivation behind this work are increasing reliability with competitive price. The hardware has designed to be smaller, lighter, less expensive and easy to repair than a conventional SSR system. The IF receiver has a great variations dynamic range (100 dB) varies from 400mv to 2.4V. The configuration of SSR consists of a terminal approaches radar to 300 Km with a high-resolution angle about 2.5 degree after the reception secondary lobe suppression function. It clearly shows that the proposed SSR can improve the reception performance significantly at reply with low signal strength.
