Abstract: A radar system is provided based on a core module comprising a radar transducer based on a long, flat platform, provided with coupling elements at each end, which may comprise ISO standard compatible corner fittings as used in freight containers Accessory modules may be connected to the core module by means of these coupling elements at each end. Accessory modules may provide power, communications, cooling or other support functions as required. The coupling achieved between the core module and accessory modules may be reinforced with side brackets, and may be sufficiently strong that the weight of the complete assembly may be supported by the core module, or by the accessory modules. The combined length of the core module and accessory modules may be elected to correspond essentially to the length of a standard freight container, and the length of the core module alone may be selected to correspond to the flat bed of a standard medium truck.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a fiber-resin composite body for providing electromagnetic shielding. The body has a resin-impregnated fiber fabric and an electrically conductive fiber fabric, wholly or partially impregnated with resin material, one surface of the conductive fiber fabric having an uninsulated area wholly or partly covered with an electrical contact strip made of a wire mesh, which provides an electrical connection with the electrically conductive fiber fabric. The method includes placing the electrically conductive fiber fabric and the resin-impregnated fiber fabric in a mold, placing the wire mesh of the contact strip directly on the electrically conductive fiber fabric, covering the wire mesh of the contact strip with a sealing tape, and filling up the wire mesh of the contact strip completely with uncured resin material from the resin-impregnated fiber fabric so that only a front side thereof forms a contact surface free of resin.
