ATC (Air Traffic Control)

Safety is the highest demand in a high-density airspace. This affects air traffic management in the civil and military domain. This relies mostly on highly sophisticated radar systems for airport surface movements, air surveillance, en-route tracking and weather observation.

Rotary joints are needed in radar systems, wherever signals have to be transmitted between a fixed platform and a continuously rotating antenna system. These include the broad field of Air Traffic Control (ATC) radar systems like Surface Movement Radar (SMR), Precision Approach Radar (PAR), Air Surveillance Radar (ASR), en-route radar or Doppler Weather Radars (DWR).
Special benefits of SPINNER rotary joints are their compact design, excellent VSWR and low insertion loss, low variation of transmission properties during rotation, and high crosstalk attenuation between the individual channels over the whole frequency range.
The wealth of experience that our engineers have with rotary joints in military use and our commitment to continuous product improvement are the basis of our great success. When it comes to application in ATC, all major customers in Europe already trust in our rotary joints.
As an additional service SPINNER offers repair and maintenance of all ATC rotary joint brands.
