TELEDYNE DEFENCE LIMITED Miniature Front End Radar Warning Receiver Technical Data RR009 A Teledyne Technologies Company Features Frequency range 8 to 18 GHz Video O/P Tss -73dBm 40dB logging range -63dBm frequency measurement capability 6 bit frequency resolution Extremely small form factor Low power consumption 3W Standby Mode Applications Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) for: Personnel UAV AFV Remote sensing Affordable RWR for air, sea and land platforms Product Description The RR009 is designed for Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) applications where small size and low power consumption are of prime importance, with filtering, amplification, detection and frequency measurement being combined into one multi-function unit. The RR009 brings RWR protection to platforms where it was previously unavailable for reason of cost or size. Two amplitude measurement channels allow direction finding by amplitude comparison between adjacent antennas. A two-tier discriminator, fed from one of the amplitude channels via an SPDT switch, performs 6 bits of frequency measurement on the selected input. Frequency resolution is nominally 156 MHz over an 8 to 18 GHz band. RF connections are made by SSMA, power and data use miniature Omnetics nano connectors. The ultra small size eases the burden on UAV and light vehicle payloads in particular and the low power consumption renders a double benefit, as a smaller, lighter power supply is required. The RR009 is the leader of a family of products. Development is under way in realising extended frequency and logging range. Please contact the Sales Dept with your specific requirement.

M1 The bias can be internally developed using a switching power supply which degrades sensitivity but has advantages of reduced power consumption and ease of interface, +6V @ 130mA J1 and J2. M2 The bias can be internally developed using a linear regulator for optimum sensitivity and ease of interface at the cost of increased power consumption. +6V @ 180mA J1 and J2. M3 The bias can be directly supplied as +3V for optimum sensitivity and lowest power dissipation. +6V @ 50mA, +3V @ 130mA J1 & J2.
