  • Radar antenna leveling system
    Patent number: 7123201
    Abstract: A remotely controllable, tiltable platform supports a radar transmitter/receiver for rotational movement of the radar relative to a mounting on a vessel, such as a mast of a sailboat or the superstructure of a power boat. A cowling extends upward from the foundation plate and a stationary hinge plate, parallel to the foundation plate, is secured to the top of the cowling. A top antenna mounting plate is hingedly secured to the stationary hinge plate. An actuator is positioned within the cowling to controlled movement of the top antenna mounting plate to maintain the radar level with the horizon. Alternatively, an A-frame structure mounts the leveling system to a mast of a sailboat.
