Samyung SAR-9 is a Radar Transponder, which is operated in 9.2~ 9.5 GHz( 3cm) marine radar band.
When a radar signal is received from a SAR craft, the SAR-9 automatically starts to transmit a response signal echoing to that Radar.
SAR craft can identify SART s location on the radar screen with 12 in-line dots.
Once activated, the SAR-9 will remain in stand-by condition for 96 hours followed by minimum 8 hours transmission.
