AGA-ERICON is a new type of radar beacon, developed by the Defence and Space System. Division of LM Ericsson, in close collaboration with the Swedish Administration of Shipping and Navigation. When the beacon intercepts pulses from an X or S-band radar it gives a coded response at the frequency of the searching radar. New types of microwave semiconductors together with extensive system studies, have made it possible to develop a product that meets most of the demands which can be made on a modern radar beacon. AGA-ERICON is now in series production and the marketing outside Sweden is handled by AGA Navigation Aids. In this article the author describes the demands made on radar beacons, the design and structure of AGA-ERICON and different applications. Operational experience has been obtained from the first AGA-ERICON, which was installed in October 1980, and it is most satisfactory.
