AN/PPS-6
AN/PPS-6 is operating in the X-Band non-coherent pulse Doppler portable battlefield surveillance radar, nicknamed the “People Finder”. The AN/PPS-6 was capable of tracking people, animals, and vehicles while being able to detect walking, running or crawling.
The antenna is a parabolic reflector with a Cutler feed. The transmitted RF power is generated by a magnetron of type Varian BLM-003.
