MANTADIGITAL RADAR marine systems

Kelvin Hughes can trace its history of instrument making back for more than two hundred and fifty years when it supplied mariners with chronometers and sextants to help them navigate the new world trade routes. Indeed, sales include a cabin clock to Captain Cook and a chronometer to Captain Bligh of HMS Bounty. Kelvin Hughes was formed out of two companies, Kelvin Bottomley & Baird and Hughes & Sons that had existed side by side for many years. Kelvin, Bottomly and Baird was originally based in Scotland and had been a manufacturer and supplier of technical equipment designed by the great...

MANTADIGITAL™ Optional Features ETD (Enhanced Target Detection) significantly enhances the display of all targets without interfering with the normal Radar appearance or operation. It treats stationary and moving returns differently, highlighting the moving ones by displaying them in a different colour. ETD combined with the dual PPI mode enables the operator to continue using the Radar in the normal way with the addition of a simultaneous advanced detection view available on the secondary PPI without cluttering the main display. This mode can significantly enhace normal operation but is...

Transceiver Types The MantadigitalT" range includes both magnetron and solid-state Radar transceivers. In both cases the latest low- profile anntennas are used to reduce wind loading and increase in-service life. Upmast and downmast options are available in both X and S-Band for the magnetron transceivers. In all cases high reliability and performance have been the design criteria. In all systems a transmission Low-Profile Technology Using the latest technology all Kelvin Hughes antennas use the polyrod lens principle.

Shfj\l¥^ye Solid-State Transceivers SharpEye™ Transceivers In addition to the range of S and X-Band magnetron based transceivers MantaDigital™ includes the option of transceivers using the latest solid-state SharpEye™ technology. How Does SharpEyeTM Work ? SharpEye™ is a radical departure from convention due to its low power solid-state architecture. Traditional navigation Radars use short high power (typically 25-30 kW) pulses of microwave energy to detect objects on the sea surface, SharpEye™ transceivers have a nominal peak output power into the antenna of just 200 W, operating with duty...
