This page is a condensed excerpt from the marine radar survey issued to students in Yankee Actual's EW operations training programs. The complete survey catalogs 25+ SOLAS, solid-state, recreational, VTS, and beacon emitters with frequencies, transmitter power, antenna gain, computed EIRP/ERP, and waveform parameters.
| System / Examples | Category | Band / Frequency | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Representative Emitter Classes — Sample Only | |||
SOLAS magnetron sets Furuno FAR / JRC JMR class |
SOLAS | X 9.41 GHz · S 3.05 GHz | The merchant-fleet workhorses — megawatt-class peak EIRP bridge radars |
Solid-state Doppler SharpEye / SCANTER / FAR-SSD class |
NT | X / S-band | Coherent pulse compression at ~100× lower peak power — the commercial LPI trend |
Recreational domes & arrays Fantom · Quantum · HALO · NXT |
REC | X-band ~9.4 GHz | Small-craft solid-state Doppler; instant-on, short intercept range |
FMCW radar Broadband 4G class |
REC | X-band 9.3–9.4 GHz | Continuous-wave — invisible to pulse-triggered ESM receivers |
VTS / coastal surveillance SCANTER · SharpEye SxV |
VTS | X-band | Fixed-site 24/7 port and coastal emitters — useful reference sources |
Beacons & responders RACON · SART · RTE |
BCN | X / S-band | Transponder beacons with distinctive triggered signatures |
