Special Evaluation AN/TPX-42, Clark AB, RP, Evaluation Dates 14-18 August 1975, 13-26 September 1975.
Abstract
This traffic control and landing systems (TRACALS) special evaluation report presents data collected to define the capabilities and limitations of the AN/TPX-42A(V) Type 3 Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS) at Clark Air Base, Republic of the Philippines. The AN/TPX-42A is part of the radar approach control (RAPCON) facility and was installed in December 1974 to replace the AN/GPX-9B ATCRBS. This report supplements and updates the Clark AB Radar Station Evaluation Report 73/67R-3(012) and where data is unchanged refers to that report. The evaluation was started on 14 August 75, but, due to equipment problems from 19 August to 12 September, was not completed until 26 September 75. The evaluation assessed: Interrogator output power and receiver gain, gain time control (GTC), false targets, and overall system and subsystems operation. The data presented in this report can be used as a guide for anticipated performance until there is a change of equipment or a change occurs in the screening profile. (Author)
