Utes-A and Utes-T
Utes-A (Cyrillic: Утёс-А , engl.: “Cliff”) and Utes-T (Cyrillic: Утёс-Т ) are operating in L-band fully coherent air traffic control radars. Utes-A (aerodrome) is predetermined to as terminal area radar with a lower maximum range but higher data renewing rate. It has two electronic racks with 16 booster modules each. Utes-T (trace) is predetermined to as en-route radar with higher peak power and larger maximum range. It has four electronic racks with 16 booster modules each.
The antenna is a double curved parabolic reflector with the dimensions of 10.5 × 13.6 meter, providing a cosecant squared pattern. The reflector is fed by two feed horns (high- and low-beam). The radars are frequency-diversity radar. They work in the frequency band on two frequencies at a distance of 54 MHz. Both frequencies are transmitted simultaneously, but only on the low-beam channel. The radar has four independent receiving channels (high- and low-beam for each frequency). The optional MSSR antenna is located on the same turntable as the primary radar antenna and is mounted on the rear of the primary reflector.
