AN/SPS-64
The AN/SPS-64(V)9 system combines high transmitter power, high pulse
repetition rate, narrow antenna beam width, a sensitive receiver, and a
digitally enhanced display to provide a bright, accurate, and clearly
defined radar presentation. The system is capable of driving one or more
AN/SPA-25 indicators, of providing a blanking signal to the AN/SLA-10,
and of accepting standard gyro inputs. The IP-1282B indicator contains a 12-inch CRT display
which, due to a unique signal processor, provides a bright, daylight
viewing display. Indicator control functions provide for selectable range
scales out to 64 nautical miles, fixed range rings for target range
estimation, digital LED readouts of exact target range and bearing, and
the ability to offset ownship's position on the display. With a gyro input,
the indicator can provide true or relative bearing displays. The
RT-1246A receiver/transmitter operates on a fixed frequency of 9375
MHz and has a peak power output of 20 KW. The linear array antenna
can rotate at speeds up to 33 RPM, which provides a high degree of
target resolution and allows target information to be updated every two
seconds.
