Description

Radar Technology Laboratory

It consists of a main Trainer unit and of various accessory units:

Radar Trainer (M702/EV)

  • Based on a modern and complete digital radar system, modified for the teaching of operation and installation of a radar system.
    Troubleshooting and servicing are also included.
  • This is the basic configuration of the program.
  • This Trainer consists of a large silk-screen printed panel,
    including:

    • Block diagrams, wiring diagram and test points
    • Components and circuits completely visible on the fore panel
    • Fault simulator
    • Radar indicator Unit
  • It is also provided with an outdoor unit, complete with support, that includes:
    • Slot Antenna and dummy load
    • Transmission and receiving circuits

μP Fault Simulator (M702-F/EV)

  • for microprocessorcontrolled fault control, via a keyboard and with a digital display

Interactive Software (SW-M702/EV)

  • for carrying out Lessons, Exercises and Troubleshooting with a PC

Electronic Compass (M702-C/EV)

  • That supplies information on navigation direction and North

GPS Receiver (M702-G/EV)

  • That applies information on geographic position

Radar Image Simulator (M702-T/EV)

  • That replaces the outdoor unit and supplies actual stored informations
