View source for YLC-4 Radar

'''YLC-4''' is a Chinese [[UHF]] solid-state, fully coherent 2D long range surveillance [[radar]], which is mainly used for long range [[surveillance]]. The radar has the ability to synthesize data from up to four other radars with a large data capacity, and to communicate and display the data and state of the system through the net to realize remote control and detection. When equipped with height-finding radar, it can perform the function of guidance and providing target data for an [[air traffic control]] system. With long range detection range, high reliability and easy maintenance, YLC-4 radar is a main radar in air defense network. The manufacturer of the system is Nanjing Research Institute of Electronics Technology (NRIET)/Nanjing Institute No. 1 /南京电子技术研究所.

==Design==
The YLC-4 system consist of four components: the antenna, the signal cabin, transmitter and the power generators (2 x 120&nbsp;kW diesel generators).
