Page 4: General Information
RT-1000 Multichannel - General System Description 1 General Information The RT-1000 Multichannel system is a direction finder (DF), which is designed for air traffic control (ATC) and for vessel traffic service (VTS) applications. The system is based on the very successful standard RT-1000 A and RT-1000 C Doppler direction finder, whose main components are applied in the multichannel system. - Page 5 Audio Module and appropriate Ex-Streamer devices at control stations is necessary. As an option the RT-1000 Multichannel system allows its system testing using RF-Generator and the Antenna Model. In this case, the RF-Generator simulates the electromagnetic field which comes to the antenna and the Antenna Model simulates the RF-Antenna itself. So these two options allow the complete testing of all system parameters during the normal operation without disconnecting the antenna from the direction finder.

The way of data transfer between the shelter (cabinet) and the engineering room or tower depends on customer requirements and the type of laid data lines on the field. RHOTHETA provides three main solutions to transfer the data from shelter to the tower: The data transfer using Ethernet lines, the data transfer using the fibre optic lines and the data transfer via telephone cables using modems. - Page 8 (If the antenna model is used, the RF-Splitter has to be ordered with a test function) As an option RHOTHETA offers a RF signal generator in order provide test signals. The RF-Generator can be connected to all test inputs of the system and can be...
