S 654
S 654 was operating in L-Band air surveillance radar usable for air traffic management. It could be used both as an en-route radar and, with reduced transmit power, as a terminal area radar.
The antenna used two antenna patterns staggered in elevation angle (high and low beam) for more effective fixed target suppression. The high-powered transmitter of type SR-1030 uses a water-cooled magnetron. Radar signal processing already provided a synthetic representation of the air situation on the displays.
The radar was built in the early 1960s.
