2.1.1 Antenna
The antenna is a slotted array antenna, which radiates a horizontally polarized electromagnetic
wave. The outline of antenna is shown in EXPLODED VIEW. The end of rotary coupler is connected
to the transmitter and receiver through a circulator. The antenna pattern in the vertical plane is wide
enough (approximately 22/25 degrees) to ensure target detection even if the own ship rolls and
pitches.
2.1.2 HM (Heading Marker) pulse generator
A magnet fixed on main gear produces a HM pulse by closing the contact of reed-switch, S1/S101.
When magnet just arrives at the front of the reed-switch, the pulse is sent to Processor unit through
AC235AFP, U10 (6/12kW) or U14 (25kW) together with azimuth pulse. On the 6/12/25kW, the
azimuth pulse is generated 216 pulses/rotation with photo-interrupter under the motor and
converted to 2048 pulses/rotation with PLL circuit.
2.1.3 Antenna drive motor
The antenna drive motor, M101 is a DC-motor.
For 6/12kW:
A DC-motor drives the antenna controlled by U18 and Q28 to Q30.
For 25kW:
A DC-motor drives the antenna controlled by U18 and Q40 to Q42.
2.1.4 Duplexer
The duplexer consists of a circulator and a diode limiter. The circulator passes the output power
from the magnetron, V1/V101, to the antenna with very low loss, and prevents passing the power to
the receiver side. The diode limiter short circuits during transmitting and protects the FEM (Front
End Module) from damage.
2.1.5 Transmitter
The transmitter comprises a modulator and a magnetron. The modulator is a switching-type,
solid-state modulator that uses the switching action of a FET. The modulator generates a
high-voltage, negative going pulse to drive the magnetron in accordance with the trigger pulse.
(1) Modulator (6/12kW)
The FET (2SK1450), Q19, Q21, Q22 (and Q23, Q201, Q202 for RB718A) generates a high-voltage
pulse across the primary winding of the pulse transformer, T101, and this pulse voltage is stepped
up to supply the higher voltage (4.5kV/5.8kV) power to the magnetron, V101. The pulse width is
controlled by the AC235AFP, U10. The rectifier, CR101, CR102 and a resistor R101 are used to
absorb the counter electromotive force that is developed when the magnetron is turned off.
(2) Magnetron (6/12kW)
The magnetron, V101 oscillates at 9410 MHz (+/- 30 MHz) and peak power is approximately 6 kW
(RB717A/AP) or 12kW(RB718A/AP). The negative-going pulse is applied to the cathode.
(3) Modulator (25kW)
A high voltage added to the primary of the pulse transformer is stepped up and stabilized by L13, U1,
Q24 and CR2. The FET (2SK1450), Q14-Q17, Q20-Q23, Q25-Q28, Q30-Q33 generates a
high-voltage pulse across the primary winding of the pulse transformer, T101, and this pulse voltage
is stepped up to supply the higher voltage (8kV) power to the magnetron, V101. The pulse width is
controlled by the AC235AFP, U14. The rectifier, CR101, CR102 and a resister R101 are used to
absorb the counter electromotive force that is developed when the magnetron is turned off.
(4) Magnetron (25kW)
The magnetron, V101 oscillates at 9410 MHz(+/- 30 MHz) and peak power is approximately 25 kW.
The negative-going pulse is applied to the cathode.

2.1.6 Receiver
The receiver comprises an FEM and an IF amplifier.
(1) FEM (6/12kW)
The FEM, H101 mainly consists of RF amplifier, a balanced mixer, and an FET oscillator circuit.
Reflected echo signals received by the antenna are fed to the FEM through the duplexer and
converted into IF signals of 60 MHz.
The local oscillator generates at 9470 MHz and it can be adjusted by the tuning control voltage of 12
V +/- 5 V provided from U6 to U9 on IF AMP Board and U14 on Modulator Board.
(2) IF amplifier (6/12kW)
The log IF amplifier consists of low noise linear pre-amplifier, band-pass filter, logarithmic amplifier,
and tuning circuit. The pre-amplifier is the transistor Q6 with gain of about 20 dB to maintain the low
noise.
The band-pass filter consisting of L1 and C54 controls the receiver bandwidth. The receiver
bandwidth is designed to be able to change in accordance with the transmission pulse width so as
not to degrade both the short and long range performance, with oppose each other, while the
transmission pulse width is changed.
(Generally, emphasis is laid on high resolution in the short range and high sensitivity in the long
range.)
The bandwidth change is carried out by varying a Q-factor of the tuning circuit, L1 and C54. The
bandwidth is controlled by U10-P01 signal. The U10-P01 signal fed to the line of R50. When it is off,
the diode, CR2 is turned off. This rises the Q of the tuning circuit, and the IF bandwidth becomes
narrow. Conversely, it widens when the signal is on. The IF bandwidth is 3 MHz in the narrow band
and 15 MHz in the wide bandwidth. The relationship between the transmission pulse width and IF
bandwidth is shown in Table-2.1A.
The logarithmic amplifier consists of 4 pieces of the custom-made IC, AA209ASP, U2 to U4.
Another custom-made IC AA235BFP, U8 includes AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) circuit. The
ATS signal is an initial tuning switch for the auto tuning system. The M-TUNE and M.T signal are for
manual tuning system. The M.T is duty-controlled pulse signal for analog tuning system controlled
from the Processor unit.
The video signal is fed to the level adjust circuit and trigger mixing circuit on the Modulator PCB, Q1
to Q6. The video signal is mixed with the trigger and fed to the Processor unit.

The bandwidth change is carried out by varying a Q-factor of the tuning circuit, L1 and C54. The
bandwidth is controlled by U14-P01 signal. The U14-P01 signal fed to the line of R50. When it is
switched off, the diode, CR2 is turned off. This rises the Q of the tuning circuit, and the IF bandwidth
becomes narrow. Conversely, it widens when the signal is on. The IF bandwidth is 3 MHz in the
narrow bandwidth and 15 MHz in the wide bandwidth. The relationship between the transmission
pulse width and IF bandwidth is shown in Table-2.1B.

2.1.7 Performance Monitor
KPM-20 performance monitor
The KPM-20 performance monitor (call PM on and after) is an unit on the side of the scanner
unit to monitor the radar performance both transmitter and receiver function. The operation
overview is as follows;
(1) Monitoring transmit performance:
The PM monitor the transmitter performance with receive the signal transmit from the radar
antenna with the KPM-20 antenna. The PM detect, amplify, and output the radar transmit signal
with microwave receiver circuit in KPM-20. The timing of the transmit performance monitoring is
just the end of the generation of the transmit trigger.
(2) Monitoring receiver performance:
The PM monitor the receiver performance with receive the microwave signal transmit with the
KPM-20 antenna through the radar antenna. The PM transmit the microwave signal with delayed
timing of 240 micro-seconds from the radar transmitting, approximately 20NM in range. The
signal will be appeared on the IF signal received with the radar antenna together with typical
reflecting echo signal.
(3) Evaluation of the transmitter/receiver performance:
The transmit and received signals are processed with PM circuit (E41-5000) as peak level
detection, sample, and hold. Then, the signal is converted to digital data with A/D converter on
the modulator PCB and send to the display or processor unit. Evaluations are carried out with the
control software in the display or processor unit.
Control PCB(E41-5000)
The PCB(E41-5000) has the KPM-20 transmit/receiver timing control, signal peak detection,
sample, and signal hold circuit on the board. The Fig.2.43 is the block diagram for E41-5000
PCB.
(1) Power supply for -5V
The switched capacitor power supply IC(LT1045CP) U2 and U6 convert the voltage from 12V to
-5V. The U2 is for the E41-5000 and U6 for the KPM-20. The output current rating is 100mA for
each. The output voltage can be adjusted by R8 and R16 respectively.
(2) Receiver timing generator
The 1 us width PM TRG signal is generated delayed with 240 us from transmit trigger(TRG2).
The U4, U5, and U7 generate timing pulses for receiver system. The 15 us control signal fed to
the analogue switch U9 for peak detection circuit is generated by the circuit.
The 50 us width sampling signal gate is generated based from PM-GATE of KPM-20.
(3) Peak detector and sample & Hold

The buffer amplifier U8 invert the receive signal(negative video) to positive signal. Then, detect
the peak level with peak detect circuit U10, CR1, CR3, C23, R26, and R27. The analogue switch
U9 is a reset switch for detected peak level signal. The detected peak signal is sampled & hold
with U11, U12, U13, R29, and C34, and output as the receive signal(SH-RX).
(4) Transmitter timing generator
The analogue switch U9 is a peak detect circuit for the transmit signal(PM SIG). The 15 us width
control signal(ASW2/ASW2N) for the analogue switch U9 is generated from 1 us width transmit
trigger(TRG3) on the modulator PCB.
The 20 us width sampling signal(SH2) for sample & hold circuit is generated based from TRG3.
(5) Peak detector and sample & hold circuit for transmitter system
The peak detector detects the peak level of the transmit signal(PM SIG) with the peak detect
circuit U9, U10. The analogue switch U9 is a reset circuit for the detected peak level. The peak
level is output as transmit signal(SH-TX) after sample & hold processing with U11, U12, U13.
