Talk:Type 347 Radar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The AA gun is dual 37mm, not 40mm. -- Adeptitus 21:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

The 347 does not appear to use an Inverse Cassegrain antenna since there appears to be a paraboloidal reflector behind the radome surface. Also the gimbal is visible in the picture, suggesting that the reflector and radome move as a single unit. The twist mirror of an IC antenna is gimballed separately from the radome, which holds the polarization filtering grid. More proabably it is a garden-variety Cassegrain antenna or possibly a polarization twist Cassegrain, in which the reflector has twist wires embedded in it and the subreflector is a wire grid embedded in a structure attached to the inside of the radome. -- [S.
