Radar Training hardware

SkyRadar basic

SkyRadar basic covers the following topics:
  • The Physics of radar technology
  • The technical implementation of radar systems
  • Tactical experiments with radars
The system is designed on the objectives for personal training of Air Traffic Safety and Electronics Personnel (EUROCONTROL, Specification for ATSEP CCC Initial Training).

The system includes the following features:
  • Monopulse, Doppler, FSK
  • Operating in the L-, S-, X- and I/J- band.
  • Signal processing Unit/units   
    • Sensitivity Time Control (STC)
    • Fast Time Constant (FTC)
    • Adjustable decision threshold
    • Measurement of I and Q signals
    • Moving Target Indication (MTI) and pulse integration
    • Clutter processing (CFAR)
    • Doppler Filters (FFT)
    • MTD (Moving Target Detections)
    • Pulse Compression
    • Target Detection
  • Radar Transceiver for realistic training as used by Air Traffic Operators and Military.
  • Active radar for classroom and lab operation.
  • Low power, secure operation
  • Pulse radar with variable duty cycle
  • Test points for external measurements
  • Powerful radar image processor
  • Scope mode: all signals with a 4 channel virtual oscilloscope
  • Digital interactive monitor 
  • Memory operation: classic radar with differential scan mode
  • Tracking mode with optical and acoustic lost/found indicator
  • Adjustable markers (VRM)
  • Adjustable anti‐clutter gain control (STC)
  • Adjustable decision threshold
  • Switchable echo signal filter
  • Proximity detector
  • All measurements are performed in real time. No sub‐sampling or substitution techniques.
  • Radar Cross Section (RCS) analysis allows the learner to understand varying detectability of objects based on material, absolute and relative size, reflection angle, distance and strength of the signal.
  • FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) operation mode for high resolution distance measurements of moving objects, when used in outside experiments.
  • Latest technologies: SMD multiprocessor technology, Microstrip based antennae.
  • Phased Array

SkyRadar basic

The Remote-controlled Moving Target System consists of:
  • Real target detection. Remote controlled movable target for unlimited positioning and movement in the laboratory.
  • No limiting “target positioning table” or rail-based positioning system is required.
  • The mobile target consists of:
    • movable pallet  550mm X 550mm),
    • Tripod with Adapter
    • Radar – targets: Different targets representing various radar cross‐ sections (RCS) are supplied with the Radar Training System. A corner reflector is a retro‐reflector consisting of three mutually perpendicular, intersecting flat surfaces, which reflects electromagnetic waves back towards the source. The three intersecting surfaces often have square shapes. Modular aluminum corner reflector dimensions: Ø 30 cm. At X‐band the RCS of the 30 cm reflector is already almost 100 square meters.
  • Display

    • The radar system display shall be also capable of generating a variable range marker
  • Experiments on background noise
  • Experimental simulation of artificial interference sources
  • Superior representation and analysis tools
  • Documentation and Training Handouts
  • Modern multimedia documentation
  • Training through experts optimized on the specific target groups.
