Synchro/Resolver Solutions for Radar & Antenna Systems

AS9100D ITAR Nadcap

Overview

Radar and antenna positioning systems rely on synchro and resolver transducers for precise angular position feedback. Whether tracking airborne threats, maintaining satellite communication links, or steering phased array elements, these systems demand the highest accuracy conversion between analog position signals and digital fire control or C4ISR computing.

CCC's multi-speed synchro-to-digital converters achieve accuracies down to 7 arc seconds, providing the precision required for fire control grade applications. Our products serve as direct replacements for legacy converters from discontinued product lines, ensuring program continuity without system redesign.

The Challenge

Radar antenna position loops require extremely high accuracy (sub-arc-minute) and continuous tracking at high rotational speeds. Many fielded systems depend on obsolete converter modules that are no longer in production, creating sustainment risk for active programs.

CCC's Solution

CCC provides form-fit-function replacement converters for legacy systems, plus next-generation Ethernet-connected solutions for modernization programs. Our SDT/RDT multi-speed series resolves fine/coarse synchro pairs into a single non-ambiguous 16-bit data word, while the Digital Commander platform offers DSP-based conversion with self-calibration.
