Description
The PA5200 series radar altimeter operates in the mid-J-band using microwave Field Effect Transistor (FET) technology. Software-controlled signal processing techniques are used to enable reliable performance to be achieved up to 5,000 ft with a transmitter power of only 0.5 W. Surface-mount technology is used to give a low-volume, high-reliability package which includes the antenna. The PA5200 radar altimeter uses a dual leading-edge tracker to ensure tracking of the nearest object. Continuous automatic monitoring of the system ensures high reliability down to ground level.
