FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
BEL has a unique history of profit making Public Sector Enterprise right from its inception. There have been events of decrease in turnover and profit after Tax due to reasons beyond reasonable control of the company. But the companys strength lies in its capability to combat the threats, for example US Embargo on exports to BEL. BEL hopes to generate 25 per cent increase in turnover with a 15 per cent rise in net profit in the current fiscal year over the previous. Corrective measures against western sanctions have been undertaken, which are likely to translate into higher turnover and profitability. The company is putting all efforts to minimize the effect of the restrictions by early establishments of alternative arrangements. The Defence Research Laboratories and Academic Institutions are also being persuaded with for indigenisation of certain special category of devices and components. The company is also opening an office in Singapore to procure components from Asian markets. Thus in the long run the restrictions will prove as blessings resulting in self-dependence and better profit margins.

MANAGEMENT SERVICES
This department deals with the flow of information to or from the company. It is Broadly classified into three major sub-sections Management Information System, Industrial Engineering Department and Safety.
Mainly the calibration of instruments is carried out here. They are compared with the standard of National Physical Laboratory (NPL). So, it is said to be one set down to NPL. As every instrument has a calibration period after which the accuracy of the instrument falls from the required standards. So if any of the instruments is not working properly, it is being sent here for its correct calibration. To calibrate instruments software techniques are used which includes the program written in any suitable programming language. So it is not the calibration but programming that takes time .For any industry to get its instrument calibrated by NPL is very costly, so it is the basic need for every industry to have its own calibration unit if it can afford it. Test equipment and automation lab mainly deals with the equipment that is used for testing and calibration .The section calibrates and maintains the measuring instruments mainly used for Defense purpose. A calibration is basically testing of equipment with a standard parameter. It is done with the help of standard equipment should be of some make, model and type. The national physical laboratory (NPL) ,New Delhi provides the standard values yearly. BEL follows International Standard Organization (ISO) standard. The test equipments are calibrated either half yearly or yearly. After testing different tags are labeled on the equipment according to the observations.

Storing- After this variable components are sleeved with Teflon. Before Lacquering mounted plate is cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. The product is then sent to store.
RADAR
(RADIO DETECTION AND RANGING) INTRODUCTION
Radar is an electromagnetic system for the detection and location of reflecting objects such as aircrafts, ships, spacecraft, vehicles, peoples and the natural environment. It operates by radiating energy into space and detecting the reflected echo signal from an object, or target. The reflected energy to the radar not only indicates the presence of a target, but by comparing the received echo signal with the signal that was transmitted, its location can be determined along with other target related information. Radar can perform its function at long or short distances and under conditions impervious to optical and infrared sensors. It can operate in darkness, haze, fog, rain and snow. Its ability to measure the distance with high accuracy and in all weather is one of its most important attributes. Although most of the radar units use microwave frequencies, the principle of radar is not confine to any particular frequency range. There are some radar units that operate on frequencies well below 100 MHz and others that operate in the infra-red range and above.
RADAR DEVELOPMENT
Although the development of radar as a full-fledged technology did not occur until World War-II, the basic principle of radar detection is almost as old as the subject of electromagnetism itself. Heinrich Hertz, in 1886, experimentally tested the theories of Maxwell and demonstrated the similarity between radio and light waves. Hertz showed that radio waves could be reflected by metallic and dielectric bodies. It is interesting to know that although Hertzs experiments were performed with relatively short wavelength radiation (66 cm), later work in radio engineering was almost entirely at longer wavelengths. The shorter wavelengths were not actively used to any extent until the late thirties. One of the biggest advocators of radar technology was Robert WatsonWatt, a British scientist.
Several inventors, scientists, and engineers contributed to the development of radar. The use of radio waves to detect "the presence of distant metallic objects via radio waves" was first implemented in 1904 by Christian Hlsmeyer, who demonstrated the feasibility of detecting the presence of ships in dense fog and received a patent for radar as Reichspatent Nr. 165546. Another of the first working models was produced by Hungarian Zoltn Bay in 1936 at the Tungsram laboratory. While radar development was pushed because of wartime concerns, the idea first came about as an anti-collision system. After the Titanic ran into an iceberg and sank in 1912, people were interested in ways to make such happenings avoidable. The term RADAR was coined in 1941 as an acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging. The name reflects the importance placed by the workers in this field on the need for a device to detect the presence of a target and to measure its range. This acronym of American origin replaced the previously used British abbreviation RDF (Radio Direction Finding). Although modern radar can extract more information from a targets echo signal than its range, the measurement of range is still one of its most important functions. There are no competitive techniques that can accurately measure long ranges in both clear and adverse weather as well as can radar.
BASIC PRINCIPLE
An elementary form of radar consists of a transmitting antenna emitting electromagnetic radiation generated by an oscillator of some sort, a receiving antenna, and an energy-detecting device, or receiver. A transmitter generates an electromagnetic signal (such as a short pulse of sine wave) that is radiated into space by an antenna. A portion of the transmitted energy is intercepted by the target and reradiated in many directions. The reradiation directed back towards the radar is collected by the radar antenna, which delivers it to a receiver. There it is processed to detect the presence of the target and determine its location. A single antenna is usually used on a time-shared basis for both transmitting and receiving when the radar waveform is a repetitive series
of pulses. The range, or distance, to a target is found by measuring the time it takes for the radar signal to travel to the target and return back to the radar. (Radar engineers use the term range to mean distance) The targets location in angle can be found from the direction the narrow -beamwidth radar antenna points when the received echo signal is of maximum amplitude. If the target is in motion, there is a shift in the frequency of the echo signal due to the Doppler effect. This frequency shift is proportional to the velocity of the target relative to the radar (also called the radial velocity). The Doppler frequency shift is widely used in radar as the basis for separating desired moving targets from fixed (unwanted) clutter echoes reflected from the natural environment such as land, sea, or rain. Radar can also provide information about the nature of the target being observed.
TYPES OF RADAR
Based on function radar can be divided into two types: PRIMARY OR SIMPLE RADAR SECONDARY RADAR Primary radar or the simple radar locates a target by procedure described in section. But in cases as controlling of air traffic, the controller must be able to identify the aircraft and find whether it is a friend or foe. It is also desired to know the height of aircraft. To give controller this information second radar called the SECONDARY SURVEILLANCE RADAR, (SSR) is used. This works differently and need the help of the target aircraft it sance out a sequence of pulses to an electronic BLACK BOX called the TRANSPONDER, fitted on the aircraft. The transponder is connected to the aircrafts altimeter (the device which measures the planes altitude) to transmit back the coded message to the radar about its status and altitude. Military aircrafts uses a similar kind of radar system with secrete code to make sure that it is friend or foe, a hostile aircraft does not know what code to transmit back to the ground station for the corresponding receiver code.
IFF UNIT
IFF is basically a radar bacon system employed for the purpose of general identification of military targets .The bacon system when used for the control of civil air traffic is called as SECONDARY SURVEILLANCE RADAR (SSR). Primary radar locates an object by transmitting signal and detecting the reflected echo. A secondary radar system is basically very similar to primary radar system except that the returned signal is radiated from the transmitter on board the target rather then by reflection, i.e. it operates with a cooperative active target while the primary radar operates with passive target.
Secondary radar system consists of an interrogative and a transponder. The interrogator transmitter in the ground station interrogates transponder equipped aircraft, providing two way data communication on different transmitter and receiver frequency. The transponder on board the aircraft on receipt of a chain of pulses from ground interrogator, automatically transmit the reply, coded for the purpose of identification, is received back to the ground interrogator where it is decoded and displayed on a radar type presentation.
A basic radar system is spilt up into a transmitter, switch, antenna, receiver, data recorder, processor and some sort of output display. Everything starts with the transmitter as it transmits a high power pulse to a switch, which then directs the pulse to be transmitted out an antenna. Just after the antenna is finished transmitting the pulse, the switch switches control to the receiver, which allows the antenna to receive echoed signals. Once the signals are received the switch then transfers control back to the transmitter to transmit another signal. The switch may toggle control between the transmitter and the receiver as much as 1000 times per second. Any received signals from the receiver are then sent to a data recorder for storage on a disk or tape. Later the data must be processed to be interpreted into something useful, which would go on a Pulse Width and Bandwidth: Some radar transmitters do not transmit constant, uninterrupted electromagnetic waves. Instead, they transmit rhythmic pulses of EM waves with a set amount of time in between each pulse. The pulse itself would consist of an EM wave of several wavelengths with some dead time after it in which there are no transmissions. The time between each pulse is called the pulse repetition time (PRT) and the number of pulses transmitted in one second is called the pulse repetition frequency (PRF). The time
taken for each pulse to be transmitted is called the pulse width (PW) or pulse duration. Typically they can be around 0.1 microseconds long for penetrating radars or 10-50 microseconds long for imaging radars (a display. microsecond is a millionth of a second). Mathematically, PRT = 1 / PRF or PRF = 1 / PRT
An important part of transceiver circuit is modular circuit. This keys the transmitter so that it oscillates, or pulses for the right length of time. The pulses so designed are video pulses. These pulses are short range pulses hence cant serve out the purpose of long range work .In order to modify these pulses to long range pulses or the RF pulses, we need to generate the power. The transmitted power is generated in a device called the magnetron which can handle all these short pulses and very high oscillations. Between these pulses, the transmitter is switched off and isolated. The weak echoes from the target are picked up by the antenna and fed into the receiver. To avoid overlapping of these echoes with the next transmitted pulse, another device called duplexer is used. Thus by means of the duplexer, undisturbed two-way communication is established. The RF echoes emerging from the duplexer are now fed to the mixer where they are mixed with the RF energy. These pulses are generated by the means of a local oscillator. Once two are mixed, a signal is produced in the output which is of intermediate frequency range or IF range .The IF signal is received by the receiver by the receiver where it is demodulated to video frequency signal range, amplified, and then passed to the display system. The display system usually carried out the control necessary for the operation of whole radar .It has a cathode ray gun, which consists of a electron gun in its neck. The gun shouts electron to the phosphorescent screen at the far end. Phosphorescent screen glows when hit by an electron and the resulting spot can be seen through the glass face. The screen is circular in shape and I calibrated in the edges .The electron beam travels from the center of the edge. This radio motion of the electron is known as trace is matched with the rotation of the antenna. So when the calibration is at zero degree on the tube calibration, the antenna is pointing to the dead ahead. The beginning of each trace corresponds exactly which the moment at which the suppression radar energy is transmitted. The basic idea behind radar is very simple: a signal is transmitted, it bounces off an object and some type of receiver later receives it. They use certain kinds of electromagnetic waves called radio waves and microwaves. This is where the name
RADAR comes from (Radio Detection And Ranging). Sound is used as a signal to detect objects in devices called SONAR (Sound Navigation Ranging). Another type of signal used that is relatively new is laser light that is used in devices called LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging). Once the radar receives the returned signal, it calculates useful information from it such as the time taken for it to be received, the strength of the returned signal, or the change in frequency of the signal.
RADAR EQUATION
The amount of power Pr returning to the receiving antenna is given by the radar equation:
where
Pt = transmitter power Gt = gain of the transmitting antenna Ar = effective aperture (area) of the receiving antenna = radar cross section, or scattering coefficient, of the target F = pattern propagation factor Rt = distance from the transmitter to the target Rr = distance from the target to the receiver.
In the common case where the transmitter and the receiver are at the same location, Rt = Rr and the term Rt2 Rr2 can be replaced by R4, where R is the range. This yields:
This shows that the received power declines as the fourth power of the range, which means that the reflected power from distant targets is very, very small. The equation above with F = 1 is a simplification for vacuum without interference. The propagation factor accounts for the effects of multipath and shadowing and depends on the details of the environment. In a real-world situation, pathloss effects should also be considered.
APPLICATIONS OF RADAR
Radar has been employed on the ground, in the air, on the sea and in space. Ground based radar has been applied chiefly to the detection, location, and tracking of the aircraft or space target. Shipboard radar is used as a navigation aid and safety device to locate buoys, shorelines and other ships as well as for observing aircraft. Airborne radar may be used to detect other aircraft, ships, or land vehicles or it may be used for mapping of land, storm avoidance, terrain avoidance and navigation. In space, radar has assist in the guidance of spacecraft and for remote sensing of the land and sea. The major use of radar, and contributor of the cost of almost all of its development, has been the military; although there has been increasingly important civil application, chiefly for marine and air navigation. The major areas of radar application are briefly described below:
Ship Safety:
warning of ship potential collision with other ships, and for detecting navigation buoys, especially in poor visibility. Automatic detection and tracking equipment
are commercially available for use with radar for the purpose of collision avoidance. Shore based radar of moderately high resolution is also used for the surveillance of harbors as an aid to navigation.
Space: Space vehicles have used radar for rendezvous and docking and for
landing on the moon. Some of the largest ground based radar is for the detection and tracking of satellite.
Remote Sensing: All radar is a remote sensor. Radar has been used as a
remote sensor of the weather. It is also used to probe the moon and planets. The ionospheric sounder, an important adjunct for HF (short wave) communications, is radar. Remote sensing with radar is also concerned with earth resources, which include the measurement and mapping of sea condition, water resources, ice cover, agriculture, forestry condition, geological information and environmental pollution.
Military: Many of the civilian application of the radar are also employed by
the military. The traditional role of radar for military application has been for surveillance, navigation and for the control and guidance of weapon.

RADAR ELECTRONIC CABINET (REC)
The REC cabinet contains at the right side in suitable comportment the first board with all strips of the RF exciter assembly, a second board, contains instead the IF assembly strips; and the IF SLB Assembly. A control panel is mounted on top of the cabinet containing breakers commands and controls. A multi-voltage power supply is situated in the cabinet. A view of the REC is given in figure 4.2.3; it contains the following subassemblies: - Power Control Panel; - Power Supplies; - RF Exciter Assembly; - IF Assembly; - Blowers and Fans Control Bite modules, - Digital Receiver Unit, - Two RSP assemblies, - Two RDP assemblies.
Power Supplies
The REC power supply section receives 220V/380V a.c. 50 Hz three phase main supply and produces all the a.c. and d.c. voltages necessary to the REC unit, FER units and the REC cooling blowers. D.c. voltages are produced by switching regulators and are protected against transients and surge currents. Overload, overvoltages and overtemperature protections are also implemented; in case of overtemperature the Power Supply section interrupts the output voltages.
RF Exciter
The aim of the RF exciter is to generate the RF signal to drive the Transmitter and the
TTG. With this objective, it accepts one of the signals generated by either Stalo Synthesizer (10 frequencies each) that is, therefore, amplified by the STALO MEDIUM POWER AMPLIFIER and finally it is divided, in power, by four with one hybrid Power Divider. Three of the outputs of the Power Divider are sent to the FER units, the fourth to the STALO Mixer inside the RF Driver Amplifier and the others are terminated with a 50 OHM load. . The Medium Power RF amplifiers and the High Power RF amplifiers amplify the signal and send it to the TRANSMITTER. An output with coupler is sent to the DIGITAL ATTENUATOR from the MEDIUM POWER RF AMPLIFIER to generate the TTG signal (Test Target).
IF Receiver Assembly
The IF Assembly contains many strips that carries out various tasks. All circuits dedicated to frequency generation are inside this assembly, the PRE-IF amplification, phase detection, the signal processors selection and the interface with the BITE circuits. The redundant frequency generation section is comprised of: -two Stalo Synthesizers; -one COHO; -one DIGITAL Expander; -one Generator; -one Distributor. The Stalo Synthesizers (ODD and EVEN) produce 20 frequencies that are used by the Stalo MPA (A and B) and constitutes the STALO signal distributed to the Hybrid and to two Power Dividers contained in the Exciter Assembly.
SLB Function
The SLB function is comprised of four strips. The S-BAND omni antenna furnishes the radar with a reception beam dedicated to the SLB channel that is then sent , by means of the SLB/FER Assembly, to the IF SLB channel. The IF SLB channel is the same as the Air Target-IF Receiver (MAIN and AUX).
the second (main and auxiliary) are used for target detection (split into air and surface) and the third for the IF SLB Receiver. The units that make up the group are: - One Waveguide Switch; - Three Front End Receivers (FER);
Waveguide Switch
This switch is used to route the signal received through the MAIN Antenna Beam towards the Aux Front End Receiver in case of a malfunction along the Main line. In the normal position, the MAIN beam is sent to the Main FER while the beam coming from the auxiliary antenna is sent to the AUX FER.
target detection, disturbance filtering AGC of receivers, STC control. It is comprised of three ATCR-33S INDIA Receiver Unit Functional Technical Description - Air Target Signal Processor (ATSP), dedicated to the detection of aircraft; - Surface Target Signal Processor (STSP), dedicated to the detection of targets on the sea surface; - Side Lobe Blanking Signal Processor (SLBSP), dedicated to the blanking of detections generated by signals entering the sidelobes of the antenna, and the detection of jamming on the main lobe (Jammer Strobe). The three signal processing sections above listed provide to the Radar Data Processor (RDP) the plots of the detected Air Targets, the detected Surface Targets and the jamming messages that can affect the post processing of both the air and the surface targets. The plots are supplied together with information about the detection conditions (strength and number of thresholds passing). The ATSP and the SLBSP perform a coherent signal processing, working on I & Q signals coming from the phase detectors of the corresponding receiver channels. The STSP processes incoherently the input signal, which has been envelope detected with a logarithmic characteristics in the Surface Target Reception Channel.
Operative Modes
There are two main modes of operation of the signal processors: - Coherent Processing (mode 1); - Incoherent Processing (mode 2). The mode 1 is the normal mode, and it is related to the use of constant radio frequency during a coherent processing interval (CPI) cycle (6 pulses). When this is the active mode, all the signal processors work normally, i.e. ATSP performs the AMTD function, the SLBSP is inserted, and the STSP is active. The mode 2 corresponds to the use of variable radio frequency, changing from pulse to
pulse (frequency agility). This condition inhibits the possibility to coherently process the radar signals and then: - The STSP works normally. - The ATSP works with non coherent integration - The SLBSP is excluded. In other words, when in mode 2, the radar has not the capability of: - Conveniently filter the clutter; - Improve the SNR by the coherent integration; - Estimate the target radial velocity and suffers blind speeds. - Contrasting the jamming through the sidelobes
(targets and/or false alarms), eventually filter by filter. 2) MAPS Signals Different types of maps or functional signals, can be displayed (filled area or contours only): - Jam Strobe Map (JS) - Strong Target Adaptive Cancellation (STAC CPI) - Fine Doppler Maps (one selected among N-2) (12 bit) (FDM) - Weight Selection Map (2 bit) (WSM) - False Alarm Normalizer Map (one selected among N) (FANM) -Clutter Sensor Map (4 bit) (CLSM) The following maps (stored in EEPROM) can be displayed: - Censoring Level Map (CLM) - Autogate Overriding Map (2 bit) Criteria (ACOM) - Detection Overriding Map (3 bit) Criteria (DCOM) - Detection Blanking Map (2 bit) (DBM) - Second Time Echoes Map (STEM) (1 bit= logic AND function in a CPI pair, or not) - Main BSTC assigned attenuation (STC1) (indicates the regions where the STC attenuation is greater than an assigned value, for the main beam) (8bit) - Jammer Sector (1 bit = enable Jam Strobe) (JAMM).
- MTD filtering - Magnitude of filter outputs - Thresholds control system with: - Doppler filters outputs scan by scan averaging thresholds (FDM); - fixed thresholds; - adaptive CFAR thresholds (autogate); - censoring thresholds. - STC - Interference and Sun strobe detection - Automatic Gain Control (AGC) - Strong Target Adaptive Control (STAC) - Incoherent processing, for pulse to pulse agility - Signals for performance display - Second time-around echo suppression. The above functions are supported by a number of parameters that are programmable and adjustable by means of the Local Control Panel. The ATSP processes the received signal and sends out the Target Primitive Reports with the following contents: - magnitude (10 bits) - status flags (3 bits). The above data are transferred to the RDP. The ATSP generates its internal timing starting from fundamental synchronisms received from the RDP (System Timing function). These synchronisms are: - North Reference Pulse - CPI trigger
AMTD Filtering
The objective of the AMTD is essentially that of detecting targets that are selected on the basis of their doppler frequency.
It conducts coherent integration and filtering of clutter with a bank of N FIR digital filters tuned on a portion of the doppler spectrum. Selectivity in doppler is realized, in fact, by these transverse filters in time sharing, allowing incoherent integration in groups of n or m sweeps
areas with the Detection Blanking Map (DBM, contained in the FA circuit). 2) Environmental and adaptive functions that have the aim of increasing the signal with respect to clutter, permitting a high probability of detection over the entire volume covered; These functions are: - FIR filters weight selection with the Weight Selection Map; - STC control function that updates the attenuation of the signals received.
3) BITE-ON-LINE of the cards containing maps. BITE OFF LINE The BITE ON LINE is active during operation of the apparatus. The BITE OFF LINE is activated once the apparatus has been turned off.
CONCLUSION
The industrial training at Bharat Electronics Limited, Ghaziabad has given us an exposure to the activities at a large public sector-undertaking unit. This being a large organization deals with wide spectrum of
technologies. The exposure on RECEIVER OF SRE RADAR has given us great confidence and knowledge.

INTRODUCTION
India, as a country, has been very lucky with regard to the introduction of telecom products. The first telegraph link was commissioned between Calcutta and Diamond Harbor in the year 1852, which was invented in 1876. First wireless communication equipment were introduced in Indian Army in the year 1909 with the discovery of Radio waves in 1887 by Hertz and demonstration of first wireless link in the year 1905 by Marconi and Vacuum Tube in 1906. Setting up of radio station for broadcast and other telecom facilities almost immediately after their commercial introduction abroad followed this. After independence of India in 1947 and adoption of its constitution in 1950, the government was seized with the plans to lay the foundations of a strong, selfsufficient modern India. On the industrial front, Industrial Policy Resolution (IPR) was announced in the year 1952. It was recognized that in certain core sectors infrastructure facilities require huge investments, which cannot be met by private sector and as such the idea of Public Sector Enterprises (PSR) was mooted. With telecom and electronics recognized among the core sectors, Indian Telephone Industry, now renamed as ITI Limited, was formed in 1953 to undertake local manufacture of telephone equipment, which were of electro-mechanical nature at that stage. Hindustan Cable Limited was also started to take care of telecom cables. Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) was established in 1954 as a public Sector Enterprise under the administrative control of Ministry of Defence as the fountainhead to manufacture and supply electronics components and equipment. BEL, with a noteworthy history of pioneering achievements, has met the requirement of state-of-art professional electronic equipment for Defence, broadcasting, civil Defence and telecommunications as well as the component requirement of entertainment and medical X-ray industry. Over the years, BEL has grown to a multi-product, multi-unit, and technology driven company with track record of a profit earning PSU. The company has a unique position in India of having dealt with all the
generations of electronic component and equipment. Having started with a HF receiver in collaboration with T-CSF of France, the companys equipment designs have had a long voyage through the hybrid, solid-state discrete component to the state of art integrated circuit technology. In the component arena also, the company established its own electron value manufacturing facility. It moved on to semiconductors with the manufacture of germanium and silicon devices and then to the manufacture of Integrated circuits. To keep in pace with the component and technology, its manufacturing and products assurance facilities have also undergone sea change. The design groups have CADD facility, the manufacturing has CNC machines and a Mass Manufacture Facility. QC checks are preformed with multi-dimensional profile measurement machines, Automatic testing machines, environmental labs to check extreme weather and other operational conditions. All these facilities have been established to meet the stringent requirements of MIL grade systems. Today BELs infrastructure is spread over nine locations with 29 production divisions having ISO-9001/9002 accreditation. Product mix of the company are spread over the entire Electro-magnetic (EM) sp 3ectrum ranging from tiny audio frequency semiconductor to huge radar systems and X-ray tubes on the upper edge of the spectrum. Its manufacturing units have special focus towards the products ranges like Defence Communication, Raders, Optical & Opto-electronics, Telecommunication, sound and Vision Broadcasting, Electronic Components, etc. Besides manufacturing and supply of a wide variety of products, BEL offers a variety of services like Telecom and Rader Systems Consultancy, Contract Manufacturing, Calibration of Test & Measuring Instruments, etc. At the moment, the company is installing MSSR radar at important airports under the modernization of airports plan of National Airport Authority (NAA). BEL has nurtured and built a strong in-house R&D base by absorbing technologies from more than 50 leading companies worldwide and DRDO Labs for a wide range of products. A team of more than 800 engineers is working in R&D. Each
unit has its own R&D Division to bring out new products to the production lines. Central Research Laboratory (CRL) at Bangalore and Ghaziabad works as independent agency to undertake contemporary design work on state-of-art and futuristic technologies. About 70% of BELs products are of in-house design. BEL was among the first Indian companies to manufacture computer parts and peripherals under arrangement with International Computers India Limited (ICIL) in 1970s. BEL assembled a limited number of 1901 systems under the arrangement with ICIL. However, following Governments decision to restrict the computer manufacture to ECIL, BEL could not progress in its computer manufacturing plans. As many of its equipment were microprocessor based, the company, Continued to develop computers based application, both hardware and software. Most of its software requirements are in real time. EMCCA, software intensive navel ships control and command system is probably one of the first projects of its nature in India and Asia. BEL has won a number of national and international awards for Import Substitution, Productivity, Quality, Safety, Standardization etc. BEL was ranked No. 1 in the field of Electronics and 46th overall among the top 1000 private and public sector undertakings in India by the Business Standard in its special supplement The BS 1000 (1997-98). BEL was listed 3rd among the Mini Ratanas (Category II) by the Government of India, 49th among Asias top 100 worldwide Defence Companies by the Defence News, USA.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
BEL has a unique history of profit making Public Sector Enterprise right from its inception. There have been events of decrease in turnover and profit after Tax due to reasons beyond reasonable control of the company. But the companys strength lies in its capability to combat the threats, for example US Embargo on exports to BEL. BEL hopes to generate 25 per cent increase in turnover with a 15 per cent rise in net profit in the current fiscal year over the previous. Corrective measures against western sanctions have been undertaken, which are likely to translate into higher turnover and profitability. The company is putting all efforts to minimize the effect of the restrictions by early establishments of alternative arrangements. The Defence Research Laboratories and Academic Institutions are also being persuaded with for indigenisation of certain special category of devices and components. The company is also opening an office in Singapore to procure components from Asian markets. Thus in the long run the restrictions will prove as blessings resulting in self-dependence and better profit margins. Also several R&D projects with long gestation periods will go into commercial production during the current fiscal.
the ground electronics system support, for the air Defence network. This led to the formulation of a very major plan for an integrated Air Defence Ground Environment System known as the plan ADGES with Prime Minister as the presiding officer of the apex review committee .At about the same time, Public attention was focused on the report of the Bhabha committee on the development and production of electronic equipment. The ministry of Defence immediately realized the need to establish production capacity for meeting the electronic equipment requirements for its plan ADGES. BEL was then inserted with the task of meeting the development and production requirement for the plan ADGES and in view of the importance of the project it was decided to create additional capacity at a second unit of the company. In December 1970 the Govt. sanctioned an additional unit for BEL. In 1971, the industrial license for manufacture of radar and microwave equipment was obtained, 1972 saw the commencement of construction activities and production was launched in 1974. Over the years, the unit has successfully manufactured a wide variety of equipment needed for Defence and civil use. It has also installed and commissioned a large number of systems on turnkey basis. The unit enjoys a unique status as manufacture of IFF systems needed to match a variety of primary raiders. More than 30 versions of IFFs have already been supplied traveling the path from vacuum technology to solid-state to latest Microwave Component based system.

MANAGEMENT SERVICES
This department deals with the flow of information to or from the company. It is Broadly classified into three major sub-sections Management Information System, Industrial Engineering Department and Safety.
Mainly the calibration of instruments is carried out here. They are compared with the standard of National Physical Laboratory (NPL). So, it is said to be one set down to NPL. As every instrument has a calibration period after which the accuracy of the instrument falls from the required standards. So if any of the instruments is not working properly, it is being sent here for its correct calibration. To calibrate instruments software techniques are used which includes the program written in any suitable programming language. So it is not the calibration but programming that takes time .For any industry to get its instrument calibrated by NPL is very costly, so it is the basic need for every industry to have its own calibration unit if it can afford it. Test equipment and automation lab mainly deals with the equipment that is used for testing and calibration .The section calibrates and maintains the measuring instruments mainly used for Defense purpose. A calibration is basically testing of equipment with a standard parameter. It is done with the help of standard equipment should be of some make, model and type. The national physical laboratory (NPL) ,New Delhi provides the standard values yearly. BEL follows International Standard Organization (ISO) standard. The test equipments are calibrated either half yearly or yearly. After testing different tags are labeled on the equipment according to the observations. Green O.K , Perfect Yellow Satisfactory but some trouble is present. Red Cant be used, should be disposed off.
The standard for QC, which are followed by BEL are: WS 102 WS 104 PS 520
Where, WS = Workmanship & PS = Process Standard After the inspection of cables, PCBs and other things the defect found are given in following codes. A B C D E F G H I J --- Physical and Mechanical defects. --- Wrong Writing --- Wrong Component / Polarity --- Wrong Component / Mounting --- Bad Workmanship/ Finish --- Bad Soldering --- Alignment Problem --- Stenciling --- Others (Specify) --- Design & Development

RADAR
RADAR DEVELOPMENT
Although the development of radar as a full-fledged technology did not occur until World War-II, the basic principle of radar detection is almost as old as the subject of electromagnetism itself. Heinrich Hertz, in 1886, experimentally tested the theories of Maxwell and demonstrated the similarity between radio and light waves. Hertz showed that radio waves could be reflected by metallic and dielectric bodies. It is interesting to know that although Hertzs experiments were performed with relatively short wavelength radiation (66 cm), later work in radio engineering was almost entirely at longer wavelengths. The shorter wavelengths were not actively used to any extent until the late thirties. One of the biggest advocators of radar technology was Robert WatsonWatt, a British scientist. Several inventors, scientists, and engineers contributed to the development of radar. The use of radio waves to detect "the presence of distant metallic objects via radio
waves" was first implemented in 1904 by Christian Hlsmeyer, who demonstrated the feasibility of detecting the presence of ships in dense fog and received a patent for radar as Reichspatent Nr. 165546. Another of the first working models was produced by Hungarian Zoltn Bay in 1936 at the Tungsram laboratory. While radar development was pushed because of wartime concerns, the idea first came about as an anti-collision system. After the Titanic ran into an iceberg and sank in 1912, people were interested in ways to make such happenings avoidable. The term RADAR was coined in 1941 as an acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging. The name reflects the importance placed by the workers in this field on the need for a device to detect the presence of a target and to measure its range. This acronym of American origin replaced the previously used British abbreviation RDF (Radio Direction Finding). Although modern radar can extract more information from a targets echo signal than its range, the measurement of range is still one of its most important functions. There are no competitive techniques that can accurately measure long ranges in both clear and adverse weather as well as can radar.
BASIC PRINCIPLE
An elementary form of radar consists of a transmitting antenna emitting electromagnetic radiation generated by an oscillator of some sort, a receiving antenna, and an energy-detecting device, or receiver. A transmitter generates an electromagnetic signal (such as a short pulse of sine wave) that is radiated into space by an antenna. A portion of the transmitted energy is intercepted by the target and reradiated in many directions. The reradiation directed back towards the radar is collected by the radar antenna, which delivers it to a receiver. There it is processed to detect the presence of the target and determine its location. A single antenna is usually used on a time-shared basis for both transmitting and receiving when the radar waveform is a repetitive series of pulses. The range, or distance, to a target is found by measuring the time it takes for the radar signal to travel to the target and return back to the radar. (Radar engineers use
the term range to mean distance) The targets location in angle can be found from the direction the narrow -beamwidth radar antenna points when the received echo signal is of maximum amplitude. If the target is in motion, there is a shift in the frequency of the echo signal due to the Doppler effect. This frequency shift is proportional to the velocity of the target relative to the radar (also called the radial velocity). The Doppler frequency shift is widely used in radar as the basis for separating desired moving targets from fixed (unwanted) clutter echoes reflected from the natural environment such as land, sea, or rain. Radar can also provide information about the nature of the target being observed.
TYPES OF RADAR
Based on function radar can be divided into two types: PRIMARY OR SIMPLE RADAR SECONDARY RADAR Primary radar or the simple radar locates a target by procedure described in section. But in cases as controlling of air traffic, the controller must be able to identify the aircraft and find whether it is a friend or foe. It is also desired to know the height of aircraft. To give controller this information second radar called the SECONDARY SURVEILLANCE RADAR, (SSR) is used. This works differently and need the help of the target aircraft it sance out a sequence of pulses to an electronic BLACK BOX called the TRANSPONDER, fitted on the aircraft. The transponder is connected to the aircrafts altimeter (the device which measures the planes altitude) to transmit back the coded message to the radar about its status and altitude. Military aircrafts uses a similar kind of radar system with secrete code to make sure that it is friend or foe, a hostile aircraft does not know what code to transmit back to the ground station for the corresponding receiver code.
IFF UNIT
IFF is basically a radar bacon system employed for the purpose of general identification of military targets .The bacon system when used for the control of civil air traffic is called as SECONDARY SURVEILLANCE RADAR (SSR). Primary radar locates an object by transmitting signal and detecting the reflected echo. A secondary radar system is basically very similar to primary radar system except that the returned signal is radiated from the transmitter on board the target rather then by reflection, i.e. it operates with a cooperative active target while the primary radar operates with passive target. Secondary radar system consists of an interrogative and a transponder. The interrogator transmitter in the ground station interrogates transponder equipped aircraft, providing two way data communication on different transmitter and receiver frequency.
The transponder on board the aircraft on receipt of a chain of pulses from ground interrogator, automatically transmit the reply, coded for the purpose of identification, is received back to the ground interrogator where it is decoded and displayed on a radar type presentation.
A basic radar system is spilt up into a transmitter, switch, antenna, receiver, data recorder, processor and some sort of output display. Everything starts with the transmitter as it transmits a high power pulse to a switch, which then directs the pulse to be transmitted out an antenna. Just after the antenna is finished transmitting the pulse, the switch switches control to the receiver, which allows the antenna to receive echoed signals. Once the signals are received the switch then transfers control back to the transmitter to transmit another signal. The switch may toggle control between the transmitter and the receiver as much as 1000 times per second. Any received signals from the receiver are then sent to a data recorder for storage on a disk or tape. Later the data must be processed to be interpreted into something useful, which would go on a Pulse Width and Bandwidth: Some radar transmitters do not transmit constant, uninterrupted electromagnetic waves. Instead, they transmit rhythmic pulses of EM waves with a set amount of time in between each pulse. The pulse itself would consist of an EM wave of several wavelengths with some dead time after it in which there are no transmissions. The time between each pulse is called the pulse repetition time (PRT) and the number of pulses transmitted in one second is called the pulse repetition frequency (PRF). The time
taken for each pulse to be transmitted is called the pulse width (PW) or pulse duration. Typically they can be around 0.1 microseconds long for penetrating radars or 10-50 microseconds long for imaging radars (a display. microsecond is a millionth of a second). Mathematically, PRT = 1 / PRF or PRF = 1 / PRT
An important part of transceiver circuit is modular circuit. This keys the transmitter so that it oscillates, or pulses for the right length of time. The pulses so designed are video pulses. These pulses are short range pulses hence cant serve out the purpose of long range work .In order to modify these pulses to long range pulses or the RF pulses, we need to generate the power. The transmitted power is generated in a device called the magnetron which can handle all these short pulses and very high oscillations. Between these pulses, the transmitter is switched off and isolated. The weak echoes from the target are picked up by the antenna and fed into the receiver. To avoid overlapping of these echoes with the next transmitted pulse, another device called duplexer is used. Thus by means of the duplexer, undisturbed two-way communication is established. The RF echoes emerging from the duplexer are now fed to the mixer where they are mixed with the RF energy. These pulses are generated by the means of a local oscillator. Once two are mixed, a signal is produced in the output which is of intermediate frequency range or IF range .The IF signal is received by the receiver by the receiver where it is demodulated to video frequency signal range, amplified, and then passed to the display system. The display system usually carried out the control necessary for the operation of whole radar .It has a cathode ray gun, which consists of a electron gun in its neck. The gun shouts electron to the phosphorescent screen at the far end. Phosphorescent screen glows when hit by an electron and the resulting spot can be seen through the glass face. The screen is circular in shape and I calibrated in the edges .The electron beam travels from the center of the edge. This radio motion of the electron is known as trace is matched with the rotation of the antenna. So when the calibration is at zero degree on the tube calibration, the antenna is pointing to the dead ahead. The beginning of each trace corresponds exactly which the moment at which the suppression radar energy is transmitted. The basic idea behind radar is very simple: a signal is transmitted, it bounces off an object and some type of receiver later receives it. They use certain kinds of electromagnetic waves called radio waves and microwaves. This is where the name
RADAR comes from (Radio Detection And Ranging). Sound is used as a signal to detect objects in devices called SONAR (Sound Navigation Ranging). Another type of signal used that is relatively new is laser light that is used in devices called LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging). Once the radar receives the returned signal, it calculates useful information from it such as the time taken for it to be received, the strength of the returned signal, or the change in frequency of the signal.
RADAR EQUATION
The amount of power Pr returning to the receiving antenna is given by the radar equation:
where
Pt = transmitter power Gt = gain of the transmitting antenna Ar = effective aperture (area) of the receiving antenna = radar cross section, or scattering coefficient, of the target F = pattern propagation factor Rt = distance from the transmitter to the target Rr = distance from the target to the receiver.
In the common case where the transmitter and the receiver are at the same location, Rt = Rr and the term Rt2 Rr2 can be replaced by R4, where R is the range. This yields:
This shows that the received power declines as the fourth power of the range, which means that the reflected power from distant targets is very, very small. The equation above with F = 1 is a simplification for vacuum without interference. The propagation factor accounts for the effects of multipath and shadowing and depends on the details of the environment. In a real-world situation, pathloss effects should also be considered.
APPLICATIONS OF RADAR
Radar has been employed on the ground, in the air, on the sea and in space. Ground based radar has been applied chiefly to the detection, location, and tracking of the aircraft or space target. Shipboard radar is used as a navigation aid and safety device to locate buoys, shorelines and other ships as well as for observing aircraft. Airborne radar may be used to detect other aircraft, ships, or land vehicles or it may be used for mapping of land, storm avoidance, terrain avoidance and navigation. In space, radar has assist in the guidance of spacecraft and for remote sensing of the land and sea. The major use of radar, and contributor of the cost of almost all of its development, has been the military; although there has been increasingly important civil application, chiefly for marine and air navigation. The major areas of radar application are briefly described below:
Ship Safety:
warning of ship potential collision with other ships, and for detecting navigation buoys, especially in poor visibility. Automatic detection and tracking equipment
are commercially available for use with radar for the purpose of collision avoidance. Shore based radar of moderately high resolution is also used for the surveillance of harbors as an aid to navigation.
Space: Space vehicles have used radar for rendezvous and docking and for
landing on the moon. Some of the largest ground based radar is for the detection and tracking of satellite.
Remote Sensing: All radar is a remote sensor. Radar has been used as a
remote sensor of the weather. It is also used to probe the moon and planets. The ionospheric sounder, an important adjunct for HF (short wave) communications, is radar. Remote sensing with radar is also concerned with earth resources, which include the measurement and mapping of sea condition, water resources, ice cover, agriculture, forestry condition, geological information and environmental pollution.
Military: Many of the civilian application of the radar are also employed by
the military. The traditional role of radar for military application has been for surveillance, navigation and for the control and guidance of weapon.

RADAR ELECTRONIC CABINET (REC)
The REC cabinet contains at the right side in suitable comportment the first board with all strips of the RF exciter assembly, a second board, contains instead the IF assembly strips; and the IF SLB Assembly. A control panel is mounted on top of the cabinet containing breakers commands and controls. A multi-voltage power supply is situated in the cabinet. A view of the REC is given in figure 4.2.3; it contains the following subassemblies: - Power Control Panel; - Power Supplies; - RF Exciter Assembly; - IF Assembly; - Blowers and Fans Control Bite modules, - Digital Receiver Unit, - Two RSP assemblies, - Two RDP assemblies.
Power Supplies
The REC power supply section receives 220V/380V a.c. 50 Hz three phase main supply and produces all the a.c. and d.c. voltages necessary to the REC unit, FER units and the REC cooling blowers. D.c. voltages are produced by switching regulators and are protected against transients and surge currents. Overload, overvoltages and overtemperature protections are also implemented; in case of overtemperature the Power Supply section interrupts the output voltages.
RF Exciter
The aim of the RF exciter is to generate the RF signal to drive the Transmitter and the
TTG. With this objective, it accepts one of the signals generated by either Stalo Synthesizer (10 frequencies each) that is, therefore, amplified by the STALO MEDIUM POWER AMPLIFIER and finally it is divided, in power, by four with one hybrid Power Divider. Three of the outputs of the Power Divider are sent to the FER units, the fourth to the STALO Mixer inside the RF Driver Amplifier and the others are terminated with a 50 OHM load. . The Medium Power RF amplifiers and the High Power RF amplifiers amplify the signal and send it to the TRANSMITTER. An output with coupler is sent to the DIGITAL ATTENUATOR from the MEDIUM POWER RF AMPLIFIER to generate the TTG signal (Test Target).
IF Receiver Assembly
The IF Assembly contains many strips that carries out various tasks. All circuits dedicated to frequency generation are inside this assembly, the PRE-IF amplification, phase detection, the signal processors selection and the interface with the BITE circuits. The redundant frequency generation section is comprised of: -two Stalo Synthesizers; -one COHO; -one DIGITAL Expander; -one Generator; -one Distributor. The Stalo Synthesizers (ODD and EVEN) produce 20 frequencies that are used by the Stalo MPA (A and B) and constitutes the STALO signal distributed to the Hybrid and to two Power Dividers contained in the Exciter Assembly.
SLB Function
The SLB function is comprised of four strips. The S-BAND omni antenna furnishes the radar with a reception beam dedicated to the SLB channel that is then sent , by means of the SLB/FER Assembly, to the IF SLB channel. The IF SLB channel is the same as the Air Target-IF Receiver (MAIN and AUX).
the second (main and auxiliary) are used for target detection (split into air and surface) and the third for the IF SLB Receiver. The units that make up the group are: - One Waveguide Switch; - Three Front End Receivers (FER);
Waveguide Switch
This switch is used to route the signal received through the MAIN Antenna Beam towards the Aux Front End Receiver in case of a malfunction along the Main line. In the normal position, the MAIN beam is sent to the Main FER while the beam coming from the auxiliary antenna is sent to the AUX FER.
target detection, disturbance filtering AGC of receivers, STC control. It is comprised of three ATCR-33S INDIA Receiver Unit Functional Technical Description - Air Target Signal Processor (ATSP), dedicated to the detection of aircraft; - Surface Target Signal Processor (STSP), dedicated to the detection of targets on the sea surface; - Side Lobe Blanking Signal Processor (SLBSP), dedicated to the blanking of detections generated by signals entering the sidelobes of the antenna, and the detection of jamming on the main lobe (Jammer Strobe). The three signal processing sections above listed provide to the Radar Data Processor (RDP) the plots of the detected Air Targets, the detected Surface Targets and the jamming messages that can affect the post processing of both the air and the surface targets. The plots are supplied together with information about the detection conditions (strength and number of thresholds passing). The ATSP and the SLBSP perform a coherent signal processing, working on I & Q signals coming from the phase detectors of the corresponding receiver channels. The STSP processes incoherently the input signal, which has been envelope detected with a logarithmic characteristics in the Surface Target Reception Channel.
Operative Modes
There are two main modes of operation of the signal processors: - Coherent Processing (mode 1); - Incoherent Processing (mode 2). The mode 1 is the normal mode, and it is related to the use of constant radio frequency during a coherent processing interval (CPI) cycle (6 pulses). When this is the active mode, all the signal processors work normally, i.e. ATSP performs the AMTD function, the SLBSP is inserted, and the STSP is active. The mode 2 corresponds to the use of variable radio frequency, changing from pulse to
pulse (frequency agility). This condition inhibits the possibility to coherently process the radar signals and then: - The STSP works normally. - The ATSP works with non coherent integration - The SLBSP is excluded. In other words, when in mode 2, the radar has not the capability of: - Conveniently filter the clutter; - Improve the SNR by the coherent integration; - Estimate the target radial velocity and suffers blind speeds. - Contrasting the jamming through the sidelobes
(targets and/or false alarms), eventually filter by filter. 2) MAPS Signals Different types of maps or functional signals, can be displayed (filled area or contours only): - Jam Strobe Map (JS) - Strong Target Adaptive Cancellation (STAC CPI) - Fine Doppler Maps (one selected among N-2) (12 bit) (FDM) - Weight Selection Map (2 bit) (WSM) - False Alarm Normalizer Map (one selected among N) (FANM) -Clutter Sensor Map (4 bit) (CLSM) The following maps (stored in EEPROM) can be displayed: - Censoring Level Map (CLM) - Autogate Overriding Map (2 bit) Criteria (ACOM) - Detection Overriding Map (3 bit) Criteria (DCOM) - Detection Blanking Map (2 bit) (DBM) - Second Time Echoes Map (STEM) (1 bit= logic AND function in a CPI pair, or not) - Main BSTC assigned attenuation (STC1) (indicates the regions where the STC attenuation is greater than an assigned value, for the main beam) (8bit) - Jammer Sector (1 bit = enable Jam Strobe) (JAMM).
- MTD filtering - Magnitude of filter outputs - Thresholds control system with: - Doppler filters outputs scan by scan averaging thresholds (FDM); - fixed thresholds; - adaptive CFAR thresholds (autogate); - censoring thresholds. - STC - Interference and Sun strobe detection - Automatic Gain Control (AGC) - Strong Target Adaptive Control (STAC) - Incoherent processing, for pulse to pulse agility - Signals for performance display - Second time-around echo suppression. The above functions are supported by a number of parameters that are programmable and adjustable by means of the Local Control Panel. The ATSP processes the received signal and sends out the Target Primitive Reports with the following contents: - magnitude (10 bits) - status flags (3 bits). The above data are transferred to the RDP. The ATSP generates its internal timing starting from fundamental synchronisms received from the RDP (System Timing function). These synchronisms are: - North Reference Pulse - CPI trigger
AMTD Filtering
The objective of the AMTD is essentially that of detecting targets that are selected on the basis of their doppler frequency.
It conducts coherent integration and filtering of clutter with a bank of N FIR digital filters tuned on a portion of the doppler spectrum. Selectivity in doppler is realized, in fact, by these transverse filters in time sharing, allowing incoherent integration in groups of n or m sweeps
areas with the Detection Blanking Map (DBM, contained in the FA circuit). 2) Environmental and adaptive functions that have the aim of increasing the signal with respect to clutter, permitting a high probability of detection over the entire volume covered; These functions are: - FIR filters weight selection with the Weight Selection Map; - STC control function that updates the attenuation of the signals received.
3) BITE-ON-LINE of the cards containing maps. BITE OFF LINE The BITE ON LINE is active during operation of the apparatus. The BITE OFF LINE is activated once the apparatus has been turned off.
