Product catalog summary
Overview: The GEM elettronica digital dual band GEMINI-DB ARPA radar system is designed for marine navigation and security applications, offering the advantages of simultaneous X and Ka band frequency usage. It is compact, flexible, and can be used as a standalone system or integrated into larger systems.
Applications: The radar system is suitable for various applications including standalone marine navigation, port security, surface movement guidance, and as a gap-filler radar in vessel traffic management systems. It is also effective in detecting small surface targets and has been successfully tested by the Italian and US Navies.
Performance and Features: GEMINI-DB provides superior target detection and discrimination with a high cost/performance ratio. It complies with several IEC standards for maritime navigation and communication. Key features include frequency diversity, accurate target detection, digital signal processing, and built-in test capabilities. The system is capable of detecting small and fast targets, including submarine periscopes, and operates effectively in narrow waterways and port approaches.
User Interface and Controls: The radar system offers a user-friendly interface with trackball controls for basic radar settings and on-screen graphics. It supports ARPA processing in multiple modes and provides navigation mode with AIS track superposition. The system includes various digital filters and radar display settings for enhanced target detection.
Technical Specifications: The radar operates on 115 Vac power with an option for 220 Vac. It interfaces with various navigation and positioning systems using standard NMEA0183 protocols. Environmental performance adheres to IEC 60945 standards, with robust temperature, humidity, vibration, and shock resistance. The system features solid-state transmitters and receivers with high dynamic range and pulse compression gain.
Antennas and Display: The radar uses slotted waveguide array antennas with specific beamwidth and gain characteristics. The display unit is a 23” color LCD with MMI and symbols as per IMO/IHO recommendations, providing clear target definition and discrimination.
Additional Features: The system includes parallel index lines, automatic acquisition zones, and sector guard zones for enhanced navigation and security. It also offers comprehensive alarm and message windows to assist operators in managing radar operations effectively.
Conclusion: The GEMINI-DB radar system is a versatile and advanced solution for marine navigation and security, offering high performance and adaptability to various operational needs.
