The Radar Gyroscope and Inclinometer (RGI1193) and the Radar Timing Interface (RTI966), provide a tool to evaluate the mechanical and structural design of the antenna pedestal and tower under wind-loads, temperature changes etc.
The RGI1193 measures the angular velocity and planar angle of the antenna, at the same time an RTI966 measures and records the azimuth information from the encoder (ACP and ARP). The rotational information data combined with the encoder signal provide essential information on encoder accuracy and platform leveling.
