An odd radar antenna on the roof of INTRACOM industrial complex. Signs of rust at the bottom of the electronics box, suggest that it was part of a rather old project. (DSCN1274) This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License .

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 .

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.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. An Air Traffic Control radar has been constructed at Shiloh for the NASA control tower at the Shuttle Landing Facility. It will be used by NASA and the Eastern Range for surveillance of controlled air space in Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station restricted areas. Shiloh is on the northern end of Merritt Island.
