AN/MPS-T1 G band (Golf)...
(Steven Jones photo)
This system was based on a Russian Surface to Air Missile (SAM) system. It
employed trough antennas, one for azimuth and one for elevation, along with a
parabolic dish for uplink missile guidance. The dual parabolic dishes mounted on
top differentiate it from the E/F (Echo/Fox) band system upon first
glance. Of course, there are more differences, but that is the first
visual clue. The additional dishes allowed "Mode 3" operation
which was a higher power output mode. It operated in the Golf frequency
bands; approximately 3000 Mhz.
