SwRI developed and fabricated replacement circuit boards for the Cobra Dane radar site in Shemya, Alaska.

Replacement circuit boards were developed and fabricated by engineers and technicians at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for the Cobra Dane radar site in Shemya, Alaska. The board layout, replacement component selection, and fabrication were all conducted at SwRI. The photo shows the original circuit board used for analysis and two new replacement boards. The new boards met all the original specifications from phase shift accuracy to power handling and form factor.
