Microwave reference systems
Journal Title: Autobusy. Technika, Eksploatacja, Systemy Transportowe - Year 2017, Vol 208, Issue 6
Abstract
Paper discussed unique microwave systems used in offshore industry for position referencing. First purpose built system entered market in 1972 and was partly associated with Dutch Delta Works. This system after several modifications is still in use as Artemis Mk6.Currently, two other, more advanced microwave reference systems are in use. Their introduction eliminated some disadvantages of earlier equipment. Today, reliable microwave reference systems are extensively used in offshore industry for high risk operations in difficult meteorological conditions.
