Radio Frequency Fence for GCA Radar at Phan Rang, RVN. Phase 1 feasibility Study

Abstract

Two 'simple' rf fences are recommended for installation at the Phan Rang GCA radar site to provide 20 db clutter rejection for the S-band ASR. The dimensions of the fences, their locations and performance are based on the clutter rejection requirements, clutter profile, and aircraft radar-approach paths. Modular construction techniques for the fences results in minimum cost, rapid fabrication mobility, easy storage, and high mechanical performance. Double-mesh screening minimizes X-band attenuation through the fence so that the X-band PAR performance is not deteriorated by the fence. The universality of the fence design allows the fence to be individually tailored to the requirements of most sites where clutter return is a problem.
