Mobile Platform Installation Radar is integrated with light bar, mounts to vehic ular roof rack 5 Radar DC Power and Data Connections • DC power provided through a 5-pin Amphenol connector P/N PT06A-14-3P(SR) • Radar powered by +24VDC at approximately 3A • Data transmitted through standard Cat-5 cable, interfaced with Amphenol connector and shield P/N RJFTV6MG • A clip-on one-turn inductor, Fair-Rite P/N 0443167251, is integrated with each cable to reduce the radiated emissions below FCC limit specifications 6 Radar Beam Orientation The radar beam is concentrated by a microstrip patc h-array antenna, onto a sector of 120 degrees in azimuth by 1 degree in elevation. This fan beam scans with RF frequency over 4 degrees of elevation during every chirp. The radar is mounted to align the area of surveillance with this window. 7 FCC info and Caution to the user This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This d evice may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device mus t accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.Note that changes or modifications to the Radar uni t not expressly approved by Trex Aviation Systems could v oid the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 8 System Power-Up The FOD Finder XFV2 radar system power is delivered from a power box at the base of the tower, or on a service platform within 10m of the radar unit. The power box includes a circuit break er switch that controls AC power. AC power activates an AC-to-DC power supply that provides 24VDC to the unit.When the AC circuit breaker is turned on, the radar unit starts a 3- minute boot-up, initialization and calibration sequ ence. After this time interval the unit begins transmitting RF power and processing the radar returns. 9 Startup Instructions: Run-Time Software 10 Open the Program Folder “Static-CDMA” as shown to the right Startup Instructions: Run-Time Software (cont.) Double-click on the “Processing” tab as shown to the right 11 Startup Instructions: Run-Time Software (cont.) Open the “CDMA_MultiRadar” script: 12 Startup Instructions: Run-Time Software (cont.) The radar begins transmitting, and return data are displayed in a blue box of varying color, indicating magnitude of signal.Slider bars above the return image can be adjusted via the computer mouse, to alter the display or select system operating parameters. 13 FOD Finder Radar Calibration and Verification 14 The FOD Finder XF radar requires an initial calibra tion to operate at optimum performance. The calibration procedure measures th e relative response, in phase and amplitude, of all transmit and receive channel combinations in use by the radar. This calibration data is collected by acquiring rad ar data from a single, strong return source placed in the radar far-field, such as a cor ner cube, and is measured at twelve different frequencies across the radar band. The c alibration data is then stored on the internal radar processor and applied to all rad ar signals during operation to produce a high-gain beam shape. Importantly, this calibration is applied at the data processing level and does not require any adjustmen t of the radar system hardware. Data for a new calibration can be generated by obse rving radar returns from a known target and a new calibration can be applied s imply by re-writing the calibration file on the radar.The FOD Finder radar is fully calibrated at the fac tory and then an additional calibration is performed on site at the time of ins tallation. Calibration is verified by measuring the return signal from a radar target wit h a known radar cross-section. The system continues to automatically update its ph ase calibration during its operation based on the data returns from fixed obje cts within the radar field-of- view, comparing the returns from those objects at t he time of installation to the returns from those objects at the present time. No input is required by the operator for the calibration update to occur. FOD Finder Radar Calibration and Verification (cont .) The radar calibration is a function of the relative electrical line lengths of traces within the radar and the impedance of the radar MMW circuits. If no physical changes are made to the radar, these values do not change appreciably. There may be small changes in the system parameters over time due to changes in temperature or aging of components. Automatic upda tes to the calibration files, based on the returns of known objects in the field- of-view (such as runway landing lights), are incorporated to correct for th ese small changes over time. Calibration of the radar is verified by monitoring returns from fixed objects within the radar field-of-view and comparing the cu rrent phase and amplitude of returns to those measured when the radar was first installed. This requires no user action, assuming said data is exportable to Tr ex Aviation for analysis. As part of a standard system performance verification, current radar returns and calibration data are exported to Trex Aviation and the validity of the updated calibration file is confirmed.
