Report on the Development of the AN/UPT-T3 Training Equipment
Abstract
The AN/UPT-T3 is a training jammer designed to simulate electronic jamming on S-band radars. The equipment delivers an RF signal to a small antenna which is placed in the beam of and pointed at the radar antenna. It should be used only in the immediate vicinity of the victim radar. Modulation by several sine wave frequencies or by noise may be applied to the tunable RF oscillator to simulate the various types of countermeasures. The device may be used in the study of the effect of electronic jamming on contemporary S-band radars, such as the SG and the Mark 8, It may also be employed to acquaint radar operators with these countermeasures and to train them in the technique of minimizing the effects of such jamming. This report describes the design, operation, and performance of this equipment.
