System TAD
Description
TAD is a shipborne system designed to receive TV signals from land – based
transmitting centers.
TAD consists of two slewing antenna devices with directional reception antennas
installed on both sides of the ship.
Basic Specifications
- The system provides stable reception from a land – based television transmitter while the ship is lying at anchor. After the ship stops, the operator points the system to the transmitting center.
- Depending on the orientation of the ship, the signal from the transmitting center can be received by either antenna, or both.
- The TAD system was developed with strict requirements to protect it from external influences.
- Antenna turning rate – 10 ± 2 angular degrees/sec
- Immunity to ex ternal influences.
- rolling (with the period of 12—13 sec) – ±20 angular degrees
- pitching (with the period of 6—8 sec) – ±15 angular degrees
- awing (with the period of 60 sec) – ±5 angular degrees
