Hi at all
Has anyone of you a clue what kind of antennas one can see on that special radar device that had been used in the Duisburg/Düsseldorf area in Germany between 1943 and 1945?
This device was used as a special one by the german Luftwaffe in the whole concert of radio tracking.
"Air Scientific Intelligence - Report No. 83 - Recent Developments in German Route Tracking and RCM (dated 26.3.45)
Since report No. 73 (July 1944) new developments highlighted -
1. formation of specialist RCM unit
2. spread of route tracking to GCI stations
3. use of listening recivers for guiding long-range radars
It notes that the function of the RCM unit is largely deployed in the problem of jamming Oboe.
1. RCM Development - History
Nov 1943, special detachment of German Air Signals Experimental Regiment established near Duisburg for investigating methods of defence against Oboe. The unit was able to cover most Oboe transmissions in Germany from Duisburg.
During 1944, transmissions were plotted successfully by listening and Oboe Mk I was then successfully jammed. In May 1944 the unit was commended for it's work during a big attack on Duisburg.
The unit had managed to identify and plot Oboe Mk II transmissions and thusidentify the main raids from the spoofs - being the only unit which gave a clear picture of the Duisburg raid.
The techniques developed were then passed on to the whole route tracking organisation.
In the second half of 1944, a jammer against centimetic Oboe was introduced. The unit is began to develop counter-measures against other navigational aids.
..."
It would be very helpful if anyone could help me with the strange kind of antennas, ´cause I´m not a radio specialist.
