FURUNO FAR 2837 S BAND RECEIVER PCB 03P9335 – A printed circuit board (PCB) used in the FURUNO FAR-2837S S-band marine radar system, typically as part of the radar’s receiver/IF (intermediate frequency) electronics.
-
Function: This PCB is part of the receiver chain in the FAR-2837S radar — it processes incoming S-band radar echoes captured by the antenna and prepares those signals for further processing by the radar’s main electronics.
-
Intermediate Frequency (IF) Role: Radar systems often convert high-frequency radar signals to a lower intermediate frequency for filtering and amplification. The 03P9335 board serves in that stage, helping to extract the useful echo information from the raw RF signal.
Technical Specification
Signal Path & Functionality
-
Amplification: Increases the received IF signal level to a usable range for detection.
-
Filtering: Helps limit noise and adjacent channel interference at IF before digitization/processing.
-
Video Detection: Converts IF signals to video envelopes for processor interface (in many radar IF board designs).
-
Control Interfaces: Tuning, gain control, and monitor lines link the board to the main processor unit for automatic gain control (AGC), STC (sensitivity time control), and signal shaping.
Electrical Interfaces
-
Typically fed with regulated DC supply voltages (e.g., +12 V, +5 V, ± supplies) — common in marine radar electronics for board logic and analog circuits.
-
Signal outputs include processed IF and video signals to the processor unit.
