A vintage Thomson-CSF "Stentor" radar, preserved at the museum of Hellenic Army Signal Corps in Haidari. Stentor is a Pulsed-Doppler battlefiled surveillance radar developed in the early 1980s. It operates on X-band (9400-9600 MHz) with an output power of 60 kW. (DSCN0819) This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License .

TERMA SCANTER-2001 Surface Movement Radar (SMR) at Thessaloniki Airport. This is an X-band system operating on 9170-9437 MHz with a peak power of 25 kW. The antenna rotates quite fast, at 60 RPM (1 rotation per second). (DSCN0343.JPG) This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License .

WSR-74S digital doppler weather radar (upgraded version with SIGMET RVP8 digital receiver). Located near Thessaloniki Airport. Operates in S-band (2700-3050 MHz) with a power of 500 kW in pulse mode (2 μs / 259 pps). (DSCN0329) This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License .

32 dipole collinear SCR-270 radar antenna at the National Electronics Museum in Linthicum, Maryland. The radar operated on 106 MHz, using a pulse width of 10 - 25 μs and a pulse repetition frequency of 621 Hz. Photo by "bobistraveling".

Antenna of the AN/SPS-6C radar of preserved destroyer HS Velos D16, (Fletcher Class, ex USS Charrette DD581). AN/SPS-6C was an air-search radar operating in the L-band on 1249 MHz with a peak pulse power of 750 kW, pulse 4 ms/150 pps and a range of 8-145 nm, depending on size (radar cross section) and altitude of target.

The antenna of the Signaal LW 08 radar aboard HS Kanaris, F464, a Kortenaer-Standard class frigate. The JUPITER/LW 08 2D-early warning radar performs long range (260 km on 2 m² RCS target) air surveillance on board medium and heavy-tonnage ships. JUPITER/LW 08 operates in UHF L-Band (NATO D-band, 1–2 GHz). The antenna is mounted on a lightweight hydraulically stabilised platform (roll and pitch). The synthesiser-driven TWT transmitter provides for a great flexibility over a wideband frequency, with pulse-to-pulse frequency agility. Together with the low sidelobe level of the antenna (with cosecant squared pattern) the radar has a high performance in an electronic countermeasures polluted environment. Good clutter suppression is the result of * the applications of antenna stabilisation, * a receiver with a high dynamic range, * quadrature digital moving target indication processing, * use of circular polarisation. Specifications Frequency: NATO D-Band (IEEE L-Band) pulse repetition frequency (PRF): 500 or 1000 Hz peak power: 150 kW average power: 5 kW Range: 140 nm range resolution: 0.5 nm beamwidth: 2.2° hits per scan: 15 - 20 antenna rotation: 7.5 or 15 rpm.

Photo of a Bendix AN/TPN-12 GCA/PAR radar at Castle Air Museum , CA, USA. Photo uploaded by Ron Gilbert on ipernity under a CC-BY license. The lighweight AN/TPN-12 radar operates in X-Band (9000-9160 MHz). The operator console includes a PPI scope for surveillance mode and a B-scan scope for precision approach. PRF is 1500 Hz, pulse width is 550 ns (0.55 µs), peak power 150 kW and average power 120 W. It has a range of 40 nm and a range resolution of 300 ft (100 m). The Swedish Air Force has adopted this radar as Landningsradar PN-67/T.
