V - JAPANESE NkVY B4DARS « EQUIPiENT MANUFACTUiCD AND PUHIBD

1, General. TheXMme introductory remarka apply to the "Navy

Radar Book" as to th^wArmy Radar Book" of Section IV (Volume II),
In the following pager tjie principal navy sets are briefly described
with block diagrams and with pictures where new ones taken in Japan
are available. The Japanese Navy built a complete line of ground
based early warning and fire control equipment quite independent of
those used by the army. They also built airborne search and track
radars for their bombers and night fighters which, while similar to
the array's sets, were of their own design. The navy did not, however,
build or operate any Type A (Doppler principle air warning)sets.
The equipment described in this jmetien ^hen willjrkll Jj* Type B
(impulse principle), except for/tiie F!£ low altitude altimeter.
/it/ •'- ■ '
The Information and block diagrams were supplied principally
by members of the electronics division of the Second Naval Technical
Institute, Imperial Japanese Navy, Certain data, however, are from
manufacturers and other sources, ,

Radar No. 11, which is the navy's abbreviation for Mark 1 Model 1, «as
the first of the Japanese radars to be seen by American forces. Early
types were captured at Guadalcanal and in the Aleutians. Research was be-
gun on it in April 1941 and completed a year later. It corresponds in Jap-
anese radar history to the SCR-270 in American. Quite a nunber of than
were standing guard on Honshu and Kyushu shores awaiting the anticipated in-
vasion of late 1945.

This set is a straightforward 100 MC/s radar, using a 15 kc sine wave

base oscillator with demultipliers to establish the prf of 1000. A pair of
large transmitting triodes (TR-1601) is used to obtain a 40 kw peak power
output in the later models. Display is on a 120 mm A-tube with O-SOO km
range scale.

As with many of the Japanese radars, the house containirg the equip-
ment supports the antenna mattress array and rotates with it on a circu-
lar track. Short transmission lines are obtained by this means as well as
no need for troublesome rotary joint«. The antenna itself for the 11-2
and 11-3 models as shown in the block diagram is in two parts, the left
half a 3 x 4 array for receiving and the right a 2 x 4 array for trans-
mitting. The dipoles are mounted /4 distance in front of the wire mesh
reflector.

No. 11 is a very large and cumbersome set primarily designed for

fixed installations and although it gave an excellent account of itself,
the Japanese found it necessary to develop a nunber of lighter and more
readily portable sets for their needs in island to island hopping in the
south and souttorest Pacific expansions. These are described in the fol-
lowing pages.

Description»

Radar No« 12 was developed as the firet portable set to use in place
of the bulky No. 11. Raising the frequency to 200 MC/s greatly reduced the
antenna sine as seen on the photographs (to about 14' x 7'). The trans-
mitting antenna was placed in the upper bay and an identical receiving an-
tenna in the lower bay. In this manner a quite narrow beam of 22° «as pro-
jected, less than half that of the No. 11 set. The power output, however,
was only 5 kw. Operations people report that this set was one of the least
satisfactory of their warning radars with frequent breakdowns and an un-
stable transmitter frequency. Nevertiieless many were seen in the Solomons,
New Guinea and the Netherlands East Indies, with a few even on the Japanese
hose islands as standby equipments.

The circuits and display of the target information follow closely

those of No. 11*

It should be noted that the later sets labelled No. 12-Kai (or Modi-
fication)^ and 12-Kai-3 are at a lower frequency (150 MC/s) and have
quite different antenna structures. In the frequently seen Kai-3 for
instance two of the triangular girders used as antennas for Radar No. 13
are mounted side by side at the rear edge of the revolving cabin's roof;
one carries the 2x4 transmitting antaana and the other a 2 x 4 receiving
antenna. Photos of this set are also shown below.

This is a snail sized land radar operating at 150 MC/S which found
■wide use throughout the Pacific islands where a light and easily trans-
ported equipment was needed* In many land installations a single tri-
angular cross-section girder was erected carrying a 2 x 4 element array
backed by an identical reflector array. (This is one-half of the antenna
used in the No. 12-Kal-3 set seen on a previous page.) For installation
on a ship or small vessel the more rugged mechanical construction shown
in one of the photos below is used. This is also suitable for land in-
stallations.

A very elementary circuit is used, the transmitter being pulsed by

a 500 cps sine wave oscillator. A single A-type display has scales read-
ing 0-150 km and 150-300 km. Since a single antenna is used for both
transmitting and receiving a gas discharge "valve" is placed across the
receiver transmission line to protect that unit from the heavy transmitter
pulse. The antenna atlmuth is indioaved to iiie operator by a selsyn
driveB dial at the set.

The No. 13 sets were considered highly satisfactory by operating

personnel.

Radar llK was a relatively recent attempt to solve the aircraft
warning problem at locations where the large No. 11 radar could not
readily be installed, and yet give better range than either the No. 12
or 15 sets. It was designed for easy installation and nass production.
However, it got into the field fairly late and not too many were in-
stalled by the tine the war ended. Several were used in the Nansei Shoto
islands (Okinawa group) including one at Minami Daito Shima.

The components are principally drawn from those used in other sets.

During the winter of 1944-45 the E-29 raids on the Japanese homeland
began to mount in intensity. The navy was unabla to pick them up con-
sistently at long distances. A new long wave (6 meter), very high power
(100 kw) set was quickly designed, Feb to Kay 1945, and the first equip-
ments were crash manufactured by Tokyo Shibaura in 3 weeksl One set was
installed at Cape Iro-Zaki near Shlaioda, another at Toi-misaki on the very
southeast tip of Kyushu and a third at Shioncmisake near Osaka. Detection
of approaching B-298 at distances greater than 300 km was reported.

The antenna is a large rotatable structure bearing an an«y of 2 Yagi

antennas. Belcw is given a rough sketch of its construction. There is
no rotary r.f. joint, Ä fixed cable being used , so antenna is swung back
and forth at a rate of 180 per minute but does not rotate» Very eimpla
circuits were used, the display being A-type on a 120 nun cathode ray tube,
Fange is accurately determined by means of a se ries of marker pips drop-

Description»

Shipboii:e warning radar No. 22 appears to have been one of the most
satisfactory equipments used by the Japanese navy. Large numbers were
installed. Research began on üiis 10 cm set in October 1941 and the equip-
ment went through numerous modifications and improvements during the fol-
lowing 3 or 4 years'. A pair of small horns, one for transmitting and one
for receiving, and mounted to rotate on a base in such a way as to always
point in the same direction at once, provide a sinple and rugged antenna
structure without need for the loss inherent in the T-R tube arrangement.
The set is very heavy being comprised of more than a dozen components as

The transmitter is powered by an I/-312 magnetror, the anode being

water cooled by a motor driven pump. Peak power is approximataly 2 kw,
with 11000 volts applied to the magnotron. A blocking oscillator pro-
vides the 10 microsecond keying pulr.c at a rate of 2500 per second con-
trolled by a tuning fork. The receU<r is a supprhetprodyne with
crystal detector and magnetron !.'-fO' local OBcillet^. The Intermeiiate
FYequency is 14.5 mc, the total receiver gain amour ting to 120 db.

Desoriptioni

The Pathfinder, No. 51, is the Japanese navy's counterpart of the

American ASG and SCR-717B. It is a 10 centimeter, magnetron powered set
with a north stabilized 150 mm PPI oscilloscope tube. Arrangement is made
for a lubber line to shew the heading of the plane at any instant. A
second A-display scope reads altitude.

Elaborate silver plated plumbing is used to connect the transmitter

and receiver to the main [Link] line. A cartridge type crystal,
inserted in this complex is the first detector for the superheterodyne
receiver which has a 9 tube IF amplifier at 14 üc/sj a T-R tube protects
the receiver. A small M-60S magnetron is used as the local oscillator.
The antenna as seen in the photos is a parabola clipped at top and bottom
and carries a folded antenna with parasitic reflector in front of it.
Power is supplied by a 25 v dc dynamotor furnishing 1500 watts of 100
cycle AC at 105 volts.

Preliminary flight results shewed that shorelines could be distin-

guished at 20 km. No ships were seen except from a land based installa-
tion of No. 51 at the Kanazawa laboratories.

An interesting sidelight on this set arises from the statement madp

by navy officers at the 2d Naval Technical Institute that the system
characteristics for the No. 51 radar had cone from Germany where the
equipment was known as the "Rotterdam Gerate." It is believed that th«
Information was obtained from an early Vodel of H2s equipment carried by
a British plane forcad down ovor Rotterdam in the early days of the
European War»

Descriptiont

The L-3 sät so closely reeembles the L-2 that it is difficult at first
glance to tell thea apart. The L-S has slightly higher power and oonee-
quently improved range and is provided with an additional cathode ray tuba
with expanded range scale. The transmitter consist« of a pair cf Yagi ar-
rays mounted on a turntable. The receiving antenna is mounted ma a frame-
work fastened to the light itself perhaps 50 yprds distant from -tiie trans-
mitter. It consists of 4 geparate Yagi antennas. The signals peoeived by
them are switched from one to ihe other in rapid sequence. The compariaon
of strengths of ':he8e sipials then gives a means for determining which
direction to movo the light to get on target. An operator at the receiver
hut watches an A-scope on which all target echoes show up to 20 km. He
moves by means of a hand crank range knob a bright spot along the axis
until it coincides with tiie left edge of a target eoho. All targets ap-
pearing to the right of thA« spot for a range of 1000 meters are gated
over to the vector display at the tranaoitting station, (in the L-3 model
this same 1000 yards is displayed in expanded form across the face of a
second A-scope by means of which the operator can obtain more accurate
range estimates. This expanded scope is not supplied in the L-2 set»)
The operator who rides around wi'th the mount has control over the rotary
motion by means of a pair of handle grips; he can by the same controls
alter the elevation angle of the antenna. The rider is supplied with a
75 mn cathode ray tube on which a vector type of display show him which
way to move the antenna for exact centering. If the target is exactly
oenterec a small bright spot only shews in the center of liie scope. If
the target is higher than the antenna axis a bright line an the scope
extendu upwards from the center spot. Likewise a line shows to the right
If the antenna is off center left. Errors in both elevation and ailmuth
produce a sloping line pointing from the center spot in exactly the
direction the antenna should be moved to getf*on target»" Hence the name
vector presentatioc The rider also has e pair of -20 power 120 mm
ob>ctive lens fielfl glasses through which he spots the planes visually
whenever possible. The searchlight is connected to the traaanitter twrr-
tabl« by selsyns and follows automatioally the movements of the tranamit-
ting antenna so that when the transmitting antenna is "On Targat" the

The S-23 was a stopgap set built to use until the S-24 would be ready*
It used the equipment from the L-2, with a simple array antenna. The whole
set was mounted on the turntable formerly used for their acoustical de-
tectors. Range and accuracy were about the- same as the S/L sets, which
were not good enough for AA firing. The S-24 was finished almost as soon
as the S-23» the latter then was obsolete before it was used.

While the S-S (SCR-268 oopy) «as undergoing "research", another set
to do Uie «a» fire oontrol Job, the S-24, w\6 undar development. This
appears to have been an adaptation of a British SLC model. It turned out
to be both more accurate than S-S and considerably easier to maintain*

The ^resentatico is by means of four cathode ray tubes. One is a

range tube -with all returning echoes showing and a rough seal« below the
base line with range marker rips. Another range tube has a magnified
horizontal scale so that a range marker can be placed accurately against
the returned signal. This act also gates the pulse over to the azimuth
and elevation pip matching scopes, «here operators attempt to stay on
target by pip matching*

DeaoriptioDi
Originally a 58 oa set known as S-8 was designed for a shipboard lo-
oatorj honever it did not prove superior to the No. 22 equipment already
in use so the plans were altered slightly and No. 61 was devised to fill
the need for measuring airplane heights from the ground.

It appears to be a rough Japanese-made copy of the German Wurzburg.

It has the sane r.f. frequency of 50C MC/S. The paraboloid antenna is
7 asters in diameter and puts out a 4° beam from an offset dipole which
is rotated at 1100 rpm to give lobing in both horizontal and vertical
directions« The display is on 4 cathode ray tubes; one is an observer's
tube which shows all the targets on an A-type scope with 186 km rangej
■oother reads range to the target desired and gates the target pip for
viewing is split form and height matching on the azimuth and vertical
angle scopes. A commutator on the dipole rotating motor shaft is used tr
switch the video sigoals to the proper scope deflection plates. The
■gate* used here, however, is quite large being some 10 loo long so that
oooaiicoally several targets may be included at one time. To care for this
contingency the azl..ath and elevation operators can push a button ifcioh
collapses the spread in their otherwise split presentation. This calls
the attention of the selector operator who then puts a •black spot" on
the particular target desired. When this is done the pip to be spread and
matched is exactly centered on the azimuth and elevation scopes.
With this equipment it would be difficult to search for targets so
it is used in oonjunction with a longer wavelength set (such as Radar
Ho. 65) until the lütter has selected a special target for No. 61. In
GCI practice the No. 61 set would be put on the enemy fighter for close
tracking, while Set No. 62 would track the friendly fighter.

This is a simple modification of the No» 22 shipborne 10 cm search
set, in «hioh the receiver is alternately switched to each of a pair of
rsoeiving horns with slightly diverging axes» This produces a pair of
lobes with about 6° spread» The received signal pips are matched in mag-
nitude on a suitable "Bearing" cathode ray tube to obtain an azimuth ac-
curacy in the order of + l/2 . A variety of horns have been tried, sons
round and some square £n cross-suction., soma long and some short»

In order to it crease the azimuthal accuracy a paraboloid reflector

with a dipole moved rapidly horizontally was being experimented with on

FD-2 was developed from FD-l a ISO Mc/s patrol sot which upon test in
1948 by the navy «as found to have inadequate range, and «as therefore not
accepted for use. Although FD-2 gave ranges of 3 km against other planes,
and 10 km against ships it too was found not to have sufficient range.

This set uses a set of 4 forward looking Yagi antennas, one pair for
sending and one pair for receiving. Horitontal lobe switohisg is done
within each pair and synchroniz'vd between pairs by means of a motor operated
mechanical switch. A CRT display showing range of the target and the de-
gree of azimuthal homing on it is used; this is very similar to the display
used in the American SCR-521.
The notation FD-2 is a local designation given by tiie 2d Naval Tech-
nical Institut« during its development. The "F" comes from the Geman word
"flutteig* or to fly, and *D" comes from its decimeter wavelength.
The Meguro Park Laboratory model of the FD-2 is beine returned to the
United States by the Air Technical intelligence Group, Far East ^Ir Forces.

Gyoku-S is a newly completed Japanese navy night fighter set operat-

ing at 150 MC/s. A specially constructed antenna making use of direction
finder technique produces a conical scan in a forward direction* The
radiating elements which are mounted, axis coincident with that of the
plane, do not move. The pick up coil leading to the 2 pairs of dipoles
is fed in such a manner by a rotating coil that the pair of lobes they
generate rotates about the axis of the plane much as the propeller does«
This pattern is shown in the sketch below in the "Front" view, as on«
faces the plane« Superimposed on this rotating field is a fixed doughnut
shaped field created by the so-called^antenna. The addition of the two
fields produces a rotating cardioid« The corresponding side view of the
patterns are shown in each case.

The lobe created in this fashion is very broad as indicated by the

low. antenna gain of 2.5 to 3«0 db. It is rotated at 900 rpm by a motor
driving the feeding goniomater coil. A coverage of about 140° in front
of th« plane is obtained« The image on the selsyn synchronised ppi
screen of course is very broad, giving a discrimination at best of about
5°. The designers were very insistent that such a broad beam was neces-
sary in order to be sure of picking up any plane ahead of the night
fighter.
Daytime flight tests at Yokasuka Naval Base showed a range of 4«5
km on a medium type plane as target. No night or blind interceptions
were attempted.
The name Gyoku is a naval laboratory name derived from Gyoku-sai,
meaning "all suicide."

Radar No« 62 is a ground GCI set for installation near fighter air-
fieldaj its function is to accurately deteradne tiie location of the friend-
ly fighter plane. The friendly fighter is equipped with an M-15 navy IFF
set with its controls set to respond to one frequency and retransmit at a
slightly different one. The No. 62 transmitter can send at any spot fre-
quency in the range 150 mc ♦ 5 MC/s to correspond with the IFF setting.
The ground receiver is then^tuned to the retransmit frequency (slightly
off its own transmitter frequency). This eliminates ground echo retun»«
and brings in only the desired fighter plane. Flat plates are used for
the No. 62 antenna dipoles to permit efficient radiation over the re-
quired frequency band.
A range scope and an asimuth pip matching scope comprise the display.
A motor driver lobe switch is located just behind the screen reflector on
the antenna•

This IFF transponder is designed to operate in either of two «ayti
(a) Its tuned frequency can be swept oontinuously through the 160 ♦ 6
MC/S band (similar to the Awrican SCR-695). In this oase it responds
with the same frequency as it received. In this node of operation any
radar station (such as the type No* IS) in the 150 MC/s range oan obtain
identification signals from the plane which appear as regular or coded
increases in -the signal return seen on the ground radar»s scop«« (b)
The sweep may be stopped and the M-18 receiver set to respond to SOBS
selected spot frequency} it will be set to retransmit at a different
frequency as far away as 8 Mc/s* With this arrangement it is especially
suitable for 601 work in connection with the No* 62 ground set*
The respoose can be given any one of 6 different codes for added
identification precaution* The operator in the plane can hear hi« own
set if it is responding«

This set is quite different from the army IFF set which operates
only in the (b) fashion but at higher frequencies* Hence the IFF's are
only useful for the navy to identify navy planes, and for the army to
identify army planes*
Five months were spent on the development of this equipment—and
4 months more were needed to get it into production* It was Just coming
into use by the navy as the war ended*

This radar was planned to be installed near an airfield where GCI

operations could suitably be carried out. Its purpose would be to de-
tect and then accurately locate an enemy plane and supply data on it
until the fine tracking No. 62 radai* could pick up the enemy plane and
look on it. Lobe «witching at 1000 per minute provides the means for
good atimuth accuracy.
An observation cathode ray tube is provided to view all returning
echoes. A range tube gives range and gates the proper signal for the
bearing tube.
