Significant investment toward the upgrade coupled with re-qualifications testing, enhancement and improvement has occurred. The MD400C Radar Transponder is a general purpose augmentation device used to enhance the tracking capability of C-band radars. Utilizable primarily for range tracking and safety functions, the MD400C is suitable for use on both manned and unmanned vehicles. The transponder is applicable to aircraft, missiles, space launch vehicles, sounding rockets, and drone targets, both sea and airborne. The design of the MD400C utilizes the latest in modern devices and circuitry. It is all solid-state, except for the magnetron, to provide a reliable product with extremely long operating life. With the following features: 400 Watt typical peak power output; Long life magnetron transmitter; Sensitive superheterodyne receiver; Small, less than 43 cubic inches (705 cubic cms); Lightweight, less than 43 ounces (1220 grams); Tunable over 5.4 to 5.9 GHz; Adjustable internal delay; Reverse polarity power lead protection; Single and double pulse interrogations; Adjustable code spacing and built-in duplexer for single antenna operation and protection from high antenna reflections. The 857-2C, variable power dividers were developed for use in missiles and other airborne vehicles.
