Product catalog summary
Overview: The GEMINI-DB ARPA radar system by GEM elettronica is a digital dual-band radar that operates on both X and Ka bands. It offers operational advantages through simultaneous use of these frequencies, providing compact and flexible solutions for various applications including marine navigation, port security, and surface movement guidance.
Specifications: The radar system is compliant with several IEC standards for maritime navigation and communication. It features advanced solid-state digital radar sensors, frequency diversity, and accurate target detection capabilities. The system supports coherent pulse compression, Doppler processing, and clutter rejection.
Operational Capabilities: GEMINI-DB is designed for high sensitivity and resolution, capable of detecting small and fast targets, including submarine periscopes, and discriminating targets as close as 2 meters apart. It enhances ship safety in various conditions and is suitable for narrow waterways and port approach control systems.
Performance and Features: The radar system provides superior target detection and discrimination with an optimized cost/performance ratio. It includes features like active and passive built-in tests, LPI mode, and a user-friendly interface. The system supports automatic acquisition zones, sector guard zones, and navigation channel functions with specific alarms.
Interface and Connectivity: The system interfaces with various navigation and positioning systems using standard NMEA0183 protocols. It provides bidirectional RS422 serial lines, Ethernet LAN for radar video distribution, and supports integration with other systems.
Environmental and Power Requirements: The radar system operates within a temperature range of -15°C to +55°C and complies with IP65 waterproof standards. It requires a power supply of 115 Vac (optionally 220 Vac) and has a power absorption of ≤ 1500 W.
Transmitter and Receiver Details: The system features fully solid-state transmitters with peak power options and frequency diversity. The receivers offer high dynamic range and pulse compression gain, with tuning capabilities for optimal performance.
Display and Antenna Specifications: The display unit features a 23” color LCD with MMI and symbols as per IMO/IHO recommendations. The antennas provide excellent azimuth and range discrimination, with specific beamwidth and gain characteristics.
Applications and Use Cases: GEMINI-DB is suitable for standalone marine ARPA radar applications, integration with bridge systems, port security, and as a primary radar sensor for vessel traffic management. It has been successfully tested by the Italian and US Navies for various missions.
