Radar Training System (8096)

  • Active, real-time radar system operating in a classroom laboratory
  • Low power, safe operation
  • Latest technology, e.g., microstrips, Surface Mounted Devices (SMD's), Digital Signal Processing (DSP), and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)
  • Pulsed, continuous wave (CW) Doppler, and frequency-modulated continuous wave (FM-CW) modes of operation
  • A-scope display output
  • Plan Position Indicator (PPI) display on a computer monitor (on-screen PPI display) with fixed-intensity, intensity-modulated, color-modulated, and colorcoded (weather radar) display modes
  • Conventional PPI display capability (vector scan output)
  • Moving Target Indication (MTI) processor for fixed target echo cancellation and clutter rejection
  • Sensitive Moving Target Detection (MTD) Processor that differentiates between fixed and slowly moving targets at short range
  • Surveillance processor for Track-While-Scan (TWS) operation
  • Computer-based (i.e., on-screen) control of the radar's processing and display functions
  • Computer-based control of the clutter generation for the study of the MTI processor functions
  • High repeatability of hands-on manipulations ensured through computer-based control of the clutter generation and radar's key parameters
  • On-screen block diagrams of the pulsed radar and radar processor/display subsystem with hardwarerelated (real signal) test points
  • Computer-based oscilloscope for time-domain observation and analysis of test point signals
  • Powerful, computer-based, data monitoring system for easy study of the first stage in the MTD processing (FFT Doppler filtering, thresholding, and alarm generation)
  • Split range-gate tracker
  • Leading-edge range tracker
  • Lobe-switching angle tracker
  • On-screen, O-scope display
  • O-scope display output
  • Built-in Electronic Counter-Counter Measures (ECCM)
  • Active jamming pod to electronically attack the radar tracking system
  • Noise and deception jamming capabilities
  • Chaff cloud simulation
  • Radar cross-section (RCS) measurement
  • Inverse synthetic-aperture radar (ISAR) imagery capability
  • Phased array antenna
  • Comprehensive courseware
  • System level training
  • Modular construction
  • Fault-insertion capability for the teaching of troubleshooting
  • Multiple test points
  • Protection against incorrect connections
