Racon Radar Beacon

A Racon Radar Beacon is a vital navigational aid. It operates in response to radar signals, typically in X and S bands. When triggered by a ship's or aircraft's radar, it sends back a coded signal that appears on the radar display. This helps mariners and pilots identify specific objects like buoys, offshore platforms, or other landmarks. Racons are designed with features like high - power transmission, good receive sensitivity, and often have adjustable signal characteristics. Their durability and reliability make them essential for safe navigation.
