IEC 63098-3:2022 This part of IEC 63098 provides the specifications of the RoF interface connecting the central station (CS) with the remote radar heads (RRHs) in a remote radar system, along with the necessary information to ensure compatibility between vendors and, hence, choose appropriate systems to cover any type of RoF systems for delivering the signal.A remote radar system generally consists of a central station (CS) and remote radar heads (RRHs) connected by radio over fibre (RoF). Each RRH has a maximum detection range of several hundred metres because millimetre waves theoretically undergo a larger propagation loss compared with conventional aeronautical frequencies below 10 GHz. The RoF system is key to enhancing the radar coverage and connecting the CS with the RRHs located along a runway for its entire coverage. To ensure the connection between the CS and RRHs, radio frequency (RF) and optical interfaces should be categorized according to their specifications, specifically, their link characteristics.
