S-Band Radar

The new Argus S-Band is a 30 kW S-Band Radar with enhanced

near range target detection, pre-wired plug and play installation,

and full integration with the current Argus X-Band Radar.

The Argus S-Band Radar is perfect for vessels over 3000 gross tons

who require an S-Band radar (3 GHz radar) as part of their carriage

requirements.

The S-Band rounds out the Argus Radar portfolio and completes the Argus offering to reach more vessels. Simrad is currently the only

manufacturer who can offer X-Band, S-Band and Broadband.

The S-Band Radar shares the majority of the modular components with the X-Band Argus Radar. The wide screen monitors, keyboard

and processor boxes are the same. This makes installation simple and also reduces the amount of spares that need to be kept on board.

Installation activities are further simplified by the fact that there is a simple direct coupling between the transceiver, the rotary joint and

the antenna -this also minimises the RF loss between the transceiver and antenna, so increases overall performance. Like the X-Band, the

interface with the console uses a single connector ended cable that allows radar controlling and tuning remotely from the radar display

without having to open the radar case.

Main Features:• Shared components with Argus X-Band -reduce on

board spares and assures availability with our world-wide after sales and service network

• Standard configuration includes performance monitor, 100 target ARPA plus 300 AIS targets - no hidden costs

• Modular and solid state construction

• Low noise amplifier providing a reduced overall noise figure

• Separate processor, monitor and operation panel

• IMO approved

• Seamless use of up to four antennas combining X and S band with interswitching capability

• Long life 3rd generation ceramic magnetron (30 Kw)

• Performance monitor included

• 19”, 23” or 26”widescreen LCD TFT desk top or flush mounting monitors
