The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), Edwards Air Force Base, CA is seeking potential sources capable of providing eight ( 8) C-Band Radar Transponders MD400C, Herley Industries, Lancaster Div.) P/N 50000-27, and eight (8) C-Band Power Dividers, 857-2C, Herley Industries, Lancaster Div.) P/N 300878-1, or equal. The MD400C Radar Transponder is a general purpose augmentation device used to enhance the tracking capability of C-Band Radars. The salient technical characteristics are listed below. REQUIREMENTS: Utilizable primarily for range tracking and safety functions, the MD400C is suitable for use on both manned and unmanned vehicles. The transponder is applicable to aircraft, missiles, space launch vehicles, sounding rockets, and drone targets, both sea and airborne. The design of the MD400C utilizes the latest in modern devices and circuitry. It is all solid-sate, except for the magnetron, to provide a reliable product with extremely long operating life. Features: 400 Watt typical peak power output; Long life magnetron transmitter; Sensitive superheterodyne receiver; Small, less than 43 cubic inches (705 cubic cms); Lightweight, less than 43 ounces (1220 grams); Tunable over 5.4 to 5.9 GHz; Adjustable internal delay; Reverse polarity power lead protection; Single and double pulse interrogations; Adjustable code spacing and Built-in duplexer for single antenna operation and protection from high antenna reflections.
