Kollisionsschutzgeraet (anticollision apparatus)
After the equipment and its truncated paraboloid aerial (about 1.5 meters long
and 50 cm. deep) had been installed on the ship STRALSUND, she developed engine
trouble,and they had to be transferred to the ROSTOCK. The trials were carried
out during a voyage to Riga and back, which took place in October and early
November 1954. Two technicians from VEB Funkwerk Koepenick, Ing. Heinz Munte
and Scheuer (fnu), went to sea with the equipment to supervise the trials;
they and the equipment were back in Funkwerk Koepenick on 8 November 1954.
A small meeting was held on 22 December 1954 to discuss the results of the
sea trials. The desired range of 30 sea miles was achieved and the shortest
range reading obtained was 150 meters.
ac ory render-
ing impossible further development in that direction. There has been no
mention of the building of a pilot series.
the tests had not proved entirely satis-
horizontal scanning -- and therefore no longer an anticollision apparatus
but a ground-to-air radar---,on the other, the posc~_b*lity was mentioned of
on January 1955, another
meeting about the equipment was held and while, on one hand, there was some
discussion of developing a second version of the set with vertical as well as
2. VHF and television receiver aerials
No progress has been made on this task.2
3. Transmitter and receiver aerials in the SHF (centimeter range_
The only aerials in this range which are being worked upon are these for use with
the Kollisionsschutzgeraet.

Aerial testing ground
A piece of '_ancl has now been obtained the former Lorenz factory at
Dabendorf (now VF,B Funlrwerk D,t-hbenc'.orf) . :.: nre n r t'.'e can be mL:ce of it,
hn-n-wrer, po-,,er supplies, etc., have to be provided
Frequency filter for transmitter aerials
The 3 kilowatt filter which was installed on the hheinsborg has h. to be
repaired twice. Details of the progress with a `0 kilowatt filter are not
r.. Gleich. el_1_en.^to ersender (common-wave control transmitter)
One such transmitter has been completed and enquiries were received from Pnland
for three more. The order has not materialized because the price was too
high.
7. Decca receiver
This project came to a standstill for the second time at the beginning of
December because the Ministry of the Interior, through which the original
order was placed, has not made any funds available. It has been struck out
of the 1955 program.
8. Automatic alarm receiver
The laboratory model is nearly complete.
9. Large station receiver for single side-band working
The laboratory model has been completed. It consists of the following units,
which are built into racks in one bay about 516" high:
a. HF unit
b. Oscillator unit
c. IF unit
d. Demodulation LF unit
e. Side band selectors
f. Frequency turning unit
g. Automatic tuner (Eichautomatic) (with Ferraris motor)
Technical details are as follows:
a.
Range 2-30 mos.
b.
Accuracy of oscillator readings: ? ca. 1 kcs/min,
c.
Accuracy of HF circuit: It ca. 10 kcs.
