    10 W/m in the frequency band from 1-300 GHz and over any 6 minute period. The SCANTER 1002 radar operates within this frequency range. The corresponding level for occupational expo- sure is 50 W/m Furthermore, sector transmission is normally implemented, stopping transmission for the parts of the antenna rotation not covering the ground surface.

  • Page 15: Functional Description

    Functional Description The SCANTER 1002 Radar System is an integrated unit containing both the radar transceiver, power supply, embedded computer and antenna with motor and encoder. The system is enclosed in a radome and a sun cover, which provide envi- ronmental protection and passive cooling.

  • Page 16: Software-Defined Functionality

    SSPA - Solid State Power Amplifier The SSPA - Solid State Power Amplifier - for SCANTER 1002 is part of the TR Module in the transceiver. It is designed using state-of-the-art MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) GaAs high-power amplifiers (HPA).

  • Page 17: Full Coherency

    In order to illuminate a target with sufficient energy for detec- tion, it has to transmit long pulses. Unless some clever processing is used, this would lead to a significant loss of range resolution. The SCANTER 1002 transceiv- er utilizes frequency modulation (chirping or frequency sweeping) and pulse com- pression to increase the range resolution as well as the signal-to-noise ratio.
