ELDES S.r.l. products

A typical radar installation is composed of the following subsystems: All the systems comprising the radar itself; All the auxiliary equipment, such as the stand-by generator and UPS systems, the firealarm and intrusion-alarm systems, the climate-control systems, and so on. In order to guarantee optimal performance of the radar under any conditions, with continuity and security, it is necessary to monitor the state of all these systems and subsystems continually.

The IRX module is a state-of-the-art integrated receiver that, thanks to the high level of integration, can provide all the functions usually supplied by receivers built using a `building-block` approach. The IRX´s advantages include low cost, high performance, high reliability, and easy system maintenance.

Radar modernization Suite (RmS) system or, coupled with a modern transmitter and antenna control unit, to build a new state-of-the-art weather radar. RmS includes a complete digital receiver/radar signal processor, a computerized radar control processor (RCP) to control the whole radar system (antenna control unit and transmitter), and a remote control system (RSS-10) to allow unmanned operation of the radar site and the remote control and monitoring of the radar and related subsystems (i.e. emergency generator, air conditioning, anti-intrusion, etc.).

The WR-10X is a valuable tool for real-time monitoring of weather phenomena in areas with complex topography. It can be used advantageously at both urban and regional levels, or as a gap filler for an existing network. A mobile version (option; see WR-Mobile) can be deployed quickly in situations where meteorological alerts arise in areas with significant hydrological risks, becoming an important tool for civil protection emergencies. The possibility of WR-10X cluster networking allows the system coverage to be extended practically without limit. The result is a unique image that combines the data collected by all the radar units included in the network.

The WR-25XP is the flagship product of the ELDES range of X-Band weather radars with magnetron transmitter, characterized by a price/performance ratio that is unique on the market. The capacity to operate in simultaneous dual-polarization and Doppler capabilities make WR-25XP an ideal instrument for the most advanced radar hydro-meteorological application, as well as for medium-scale civil protection uses. Given its small size and weight, the WR-25XP can even be installed on a light trailer for quick relocation to areas open to hydrological risk, or to areas with high concentration of people for civil protection needs. Its cluster networking ability allows the system coverage to be extended practically without limit. The resulting image produces mosaics, integrating the data collected by all the sensors making up the network.

From thirty years of experience in the design and development of state-of-the-art Radar technology born WR-J, the new X-Band Radar with Solid-State Power Amplifier (SSPA), the result of a scientific partnership and joint developments within the “JUPITER research project”, which involved ELDES with the most important Italian Universities and Research Centres. Already present on the market with the two WR-Class X-Band Radar (WR-10X and WR-25XP), with Magnetron transmitter, sold all over the world, ELDES accept a new challenge by responding to the demanding needs of a modern market, adding to its product portfolio, a completely renovated Radar with the cutting-edge Solid-State technology.
