Radar training system

This training system, specially designed for educational purposes, operates without any hazardous high-frequency radiation. The principle of a radar system is explained using authentic measurements. The central component of the training system is a rotating radar base station with a fan beam antenna. Echoes from ultrasonic pulses are digitalised and transmitted via a wireless interface to a computer. The targets are then displayed on a screen in real time. The secondary radar transponder in the system supports mode Alpha (identification) and mode Charlie (altitude). The integrated course explains the functionality and areas of application of primary and secondary radar system by means of theoretical content, animated images and interactive tests of knowledge. The knowledge is then cemented with the help of numerous illustrative experiments. Thanks to the physical analogies between UHF radar and ultrasound, the knowledge gained is directly applicable to radar technology.
