Azimuth Synchro Converter

Convert various Azimuth Reference Signals to Synchro or Resolver Format

The Azimuth Synchro Converter offers a reliable way of converting between proprietary formats, standard TTL / 12V pulses and Synchro or Resolver signals. Typically used for interfacing navigational radar systems to AEGIS or similar systems.

The Synchro interface is compliant with MIL-S-20708.

Dual optically isolated inputs for redundant gyro information (NMEA xxHDT and xxTHS, required for generation of north stabilized image).

Dual optically isolated outputs for status information (Optional).

The Synchro Converter can be matched with a DeStreamer in order to fully translate between LAN based radars and legacy display systems.

The unit is shipped in an aluminum enclosure, tested to EN60945. The supported formats are listed below.

Azimuth / ACP / ARP formats

The unit will typically convert to and from the following pulse formats:

  • ACP 16384
  • ACP 8192
  • ACP 4096
  • ACP 2048
  • ACP 1024
  • ACP 360
  • ACP 256
  • Sperry VisionMaster / BME
  • (Other formats on request)

Additional Information

Conversion from composite signals currently requires a PRIB board.

Synchro/Resolver to Digital

The Synchro to Digital Converter is still available, but most Synchro / Resolver to Digital systems are now sold embedded with the ScanStreamer, due to the elimination of any latency between the video and the azimuth.

Enclosure

The unit is delivered in a 22 x 30 x 6 cm enclosure. Rack units are available.

The power supplies and filters are tested to CSA, UL and EN safety standards.

Power supplies: AC 100 to 250V, 50 – 60 Hz. DC on request. Maximum power requirement 30W.
