SG-3, SG-4

SG-3 and SG-4 were operating in S band naval surface scanning radars, differing only in the antenna used (SG-4 antenna is stabilized; SG-3 antenna is not).

The antenna of SG-3 consists of an offset paraboloidal section of slat-type construction with a waveguide and horn feed with horizontal polarization. The reflector is 1½ feet high and 7 feet wide. The antenna is tiltable through 10 degrees in elevation. The vertical half-power beamwidth of SG-3 antenna is 13 degrees, SG-4 antenna 6.5 degrees of.
