To Ship FOB Destination to Edwards AFB, CA 93524 SPECIFICATIONS: System Includes : Portable Imaging System: Radar: 2-18GHz Computer/Controller Low Frequency Upgrade:.1-2GHz Capability Band 1 Antenna:.1-.5 GHz Band 1,2 Mount included Band 2 Antennas.2-2GHz Band 3 Antennas w/ Enclosure 2-18GHz Rail: 10’ Rail Disassembled for shipping Vertical Slider Pitch Subassembly Position Data System Alignment system with two remote fiducials. Repeatable measurement/alignment capability. Calibration Set A 3 calibration targets with stand Video/Laser/Tilt Module Video capture documentation Vertical Lift Band3 antenna/rail operation to 20 feet Shipping Containers Software: Standard Data Reduction Diagnostic imaging available after data collection Data Filtering Image Edit Reconstruct (IER) NF to FF Transformation Nearfield to Farfield Transformation in Data Reduction Motion Compensation Mocomp in Data Reduction Extended Imaging SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS for Integrated Measurement System has the following basic salient characteristics: • Portable Imaging System • Data for microwave images are acquired by moving antennas on a motorized linear rail while triggering data sweeps incrementally along the rail • Center of the microwave image is called the zone center. The typical zone centers for medium ranges are from 15 to 24 feet in front of the antennas. Greater distances can be achieved depending on the details of the RF environment, instrument settings and target. • System is calibrated by using a known standard with precise magnitude and phase responses associated with each frequency and polarization. • System is on a physical support structure to allow it to be positioned so that the zone center is located at a specific location on the aircraft/target. • Structure provides manual movement in x, y, z (height) and azimuth. The antenna pitch (elevation) is manually operated for 2-18 GHz antennas. Antennas are aligned with a Position Data System using the aircraft coordinate system-fuselage station (FS), buttline (BL) and waterline (BL). Position algorithm determines the antenna movement required to align to the desired zone center on the aircraft. • Radar Subsystem, Control Interface and the PDS System could operate under as well as on top of the aircraft with Band3 antennas [2 to 18 GHz]. • Computer/Controller Rack and Power Rack are always outside the aircraft shadow line. • Design of the hardware includes circular locking military connectors, drip loops on the cables and no direct top openings for fuel to enter the electronics. • Cooling fans and exhaust vents are IP54 rated. • Sealed switches and sealed relays are used so no spark-generating situations occur during operation. • Most metal parts are powder coated or coated for anti-corrosion. • Some exposed materials may be galvanized steel, stainless steel and aluminum.
