Artemis Mk5

Position-Reference System
type Artemis Mk5

Artemis Mk5 is an accurate microwave position-reference system that determines range and bearing of a mobile object from a reference position.

Features
Performance unaffected by rain and fog Prepared for explosion proof operation Stations and beacons compatible with Mk4 stations and beacons Identical stations for mobile and xed positions Ethernet connection for data and control signals Dedicated panel for set-up and test purposes

Description
The Artemis Mk5 is an accurate position-reference system that determines the range and bearing of a mobile object relative to a xed position using microwaves. It replaces the Artemis Mk4 system which was introduced in 1988. It comprises two units, a mobile station and either a xed station or a beacon. When the system is locked in, the two station antennas track each other by maintaining a continuous microwave link with the link path always perpendicular to the two antennas. If a beacon is used instead of a xed station, it provides a distance measurement and the mobile station tracks the beacon. The bearing of the mobile object is determined by its heading measured by a gyrocompass and the relative antenna direction.

Options
Telescope for calibration of station antennas Anti-ice and anti-snow heating for mobile and xed stations Pressurising units to render stations or beacons explosion proof Transceivers for shielded twisted pair or thick coax connections
