Description

Radar Trainer

This Radar trainer is designed to study radar technologies and systems used in maritime navigation.

All devices are of professional type.

The Radar Trainer features an up-todate real marine digital radar, properly modified to teach the operation, installation and maintenance of a radar system

 

The trainer consists of a main unit, including:

  • Mimic panel with the functional diagram of the radar and
    the test point on the most significant signals
  • Display unit contains radar control and management; components and circuits are completely visible
  • Screen displays the information received and processed by the radar system
  • Radar Image Simulator generates a radar image with moving targets, thus accurately reproducing the operation of an outdoor scanner unit;
  • Fault simulator

Training Program:

  • Introduction to radar techniques
    • Incident and reflected wave
    • Pulse duration/repetition frequency ratio
    • Power/range ratio
    • Continuous-wave (CW) radar
    • Radar equation
  • Proper interpretation of radar diagram with reference to physical phenomena and to technological limits
  • Block description and circuit analysis of radar
  • PRF (Pulse Repetition Frequency) generator and transmitter trigger
  • Gate signal generator
  • Solid state modulator
  • Magnetron transmitter
  • Control of antenna rotation
  • Circulator and limiter for input protection
  • Solid-state preamplifier and mixer
  • Logarithmic receiver
  • Echo signal processing and acquisition
  • Interference rejection
  • Correlation and integration
  • Mini ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aids) anti-collision system and guard zones
  • Video circuits:
    • Horizontal and vertical deflection
    • Video signal and memory
    • On-screen display (OSD) for navigation and data setting
  • Radar image generator
  • “Switch mode” power supply
  • Instructions of use
  • Measurements on radar different parts
  • Troubleshooting

Optional:

Scanner Unit (M702-SU/EV)

  • The Scanner unit is a real radar outdoor unit including transmission and receiving circuits and slot antenna (for outdoor use) or dummy load (for indoor use)

Electronic Compass (M702-C/EV)

  • That supplies information on navigation direction and North

GPS Receiver (M702-G/EV)

  • That supplies information on geographic position
