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

- 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

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
