Product catalog summary
Overview: The RL-2000 is the latest generation of ELDIS primary surveillance radars designed for Terminal Approach Control Areas. It complies with EUROCONTROL and ICAO standards, featuring a fully solid-state, modular configuration that ensures fail-safe operation and low life cycle costs. The radar includes a weather channel for real-time weather reporting in TMA airspace and can be extended with the MSSR-1 monopulse surveillance secondary radar for an integrated system solution.
Antenna System: The antenna system provides a double coverage cosec2 illumination pattern and can operate in either linear or circular polarization. This adjustability enhances weather clutter rejection.
Transmitter: The modular air-cooled solid-state transmitter operates across the full frequency range with frequency diversity for both short and long pulse transmissions. It is fault-tolerant with a low voltage power supply, allowing continuous operation during maintenance. Available in two power versions (14 kW and 25 kW), it ensures a minimum detectable range of 60 NM and 80 NM, respectively.
RF Generator: The digital waveform synthesizer generates optimal short and long pulses digitally, enhancing coverage.
Receiver: The superheterodyne receiver with double frequency down conversion achieves high dynamic range through direct IF A/D conversion. It features full digital automatic gain control for improved stability and gain calibration, with BITE diagnostics for performance monitoring.
Signal Processor: Utilizing 64-bit processors, the signal processor supports adaptive MTD processing, digital pulse compression, Doppler filtering, adaptive CFAR filtering, and target detection and extraction. It improves range/azimuth target coordinates accuracy.
Control and Monitoring System (CMS): The CMS includes independent BITE diagnostics for performance monitoring and automatic system backup. It consists of a local and remote control and monitoring system, both with identical capabilities, communicating via LAN and optic fiber cable. The CMS allows remote control and adjustment of radar configurations and parameters through a user-friendly graphical interface.
System Parameters: The RL-2000 operates within a frequency range of 2700 – 2900 MHz, with an antenna gain of 34 dB and a cone of silence of 45°. It supports linear and circular polarization, with short/long pulse widths of 2×1.2 μs and 2×40.8 μs, respectively. The long pulse compression ratio is programmable at 1/40.8. The radar has a probability of detection of <0.8 for RCS=1m2, peak power options of 14 kW or 25 kW, and a receiver noise figure of 1.5 dB. It features adaptive MTD signal processing, a clutter improvement factor of 55 dB, range accuracy/resolution of 75 m/230 m, azimuth accuracy/resolution of 0.15°/2.3° (r.m.s.), and a target processing capacity of at least 125 targets per second. The output data format is ASTERIX Cat. 034, 045, 008, 001, 002.

RL 2000-1

RL-2000 PRIMARY SURVEILLANCE RADAR with possibility of collocation with ELDIS MSSR-1 radar RL-2000 is the latest generation of ELDIS primary surveillance radars for Terminal Approach Control Area. The radar meets or exceeds EUROCONTROL and ICAO recommendations and standards. The RL-2000 features fully solid-state highly modular configuration, fail-safe system and low life cycle costs. RL-2000 configuration includes weather channel for reporting of actual weather condition in TMA airspace. Basic RL-2000 configuration can be extended by monopulse surveillance secondary radar MSSR-1. This configuration extension is representing integrated system solution to TMA. radar control and monitoring system, to rapidly improve weather clutter rejection. Antenna system RF generator is digital waveform synthesizer, which provides optimum number of short and long pulses over coverage period. Short pulse and long pulse waveforms are generated fully digitally. The antenna system is shaping 2 double coverage cosec illumination pattern. The antenna system can operate in linear or circular polarization, which is adjustable via Transmitter Transmitter is modular air-cooled solid-state transmitter. The transmitter is operating in full frequency range with frequency diversity for short pulse and long pulse transmission. Design is fault tolerant with low voltage power supply, which allows continuous operation during maintenance. Depending on customer's requirements, the transmitter unit is available in two power versions - 14 or 25 kW, composed of 16 respectively 32 independent modules and assuring minimum detectable range of 60 respectively 80 NM. Receiver Receiver is of superheterodyne type with double frequency down conversion. The high dynamic range is achieved by direct IF A/D conversion. The receiver has full digital automatic gain control, which is improving receiver stability and gain calibration. The receiver BITE diagnostics measures on-line receiver performance parameters, including noise figure.

Signal Processor The signal processor is based on 64-bit processors with high computing performance. Real time application software is written in “C” language, which provides efficient application solution for adaptive MTD processing. Signal processor performs the digital pulse compression for long pulses, the Doppler filtering through a bank of Doppler filters, adaptive CFAR filtering and the target detection and extraction. Adaptive CFAR filtering includes scan to scan filtration criterion evaluation and weather mapping. Extraction process involves using of filter amplitude for range/azimuth...
