Peru Igp Power Tender

In order to remain at the forefront and achieve new discoveries of the upper atmosphere in favor of science the Geophysical Institute of Peru IGP will repower the operation and capabilities of its gigantic ionospheric radar measuring 300 x 300 meters considered the largest and most powerful in the world which operates at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory.As part of this continuous update which is already underway the institution attached to the Ministry of the Environment will renew the ground mesh of the main antenna to increase the gain of this radar. The manual pointing system of the antenna will also be modified which will be programmable and automatic.One of the ionospheric radar amplification stages will also be improved allowing constant and automatic monitoring of the ionosphere at a power greater than 96 kW since the current one is only 20 kW.Likewise the technicians researchers and scientists of the IGPs Jicamarca Radio Observatory are carrying out operational tests of the fourth high-power transmitter which can reach 1.1 MW of peak power with a maximum duty cycle of 5. With the operation of the four transmitters the total installed capacity of the radar will be completed and its transmission and reception of data will be enhanced.Thanks to its gigantic radar and the knowledge acquired of the ionosphere and its phenomena an atmospheric layer that extends between approximately 80 and 500 km of altitude the IGP has contributed to a better knowledge of space near the Earth and to refining communication technologies satellite and global positioning systems GPS contributing to disaster risk management.
