ADVANCED RADAR TRAINING SYSTEM (ARTS)

Description

<strong>FEATURES:</strong>
 Incorporates technologically adva nced integrated Transmitter and
Receiver.
 Scans, calculates and displays all measurements.
 Horn Antenna with rotating base.
 Demonstrates and teaches moving target concepts.
 LAB -Radar Software is provided with the trainer for real time
measurement using PC.
 High speed Data Acquisition Card is provided with the trainer (in -built).
 High-end signal-conditioning module is used both in the Hardware and
 Software to enhance Radars sensitivity to detect targets with reasonable
accuracy and repeatabil ity. (Note: Accuracy depends upon the testing
room condition.)
 Continuous radar scanning for stationary target detection.
 0° to 180° clock wise & anticlockwise antenna rotation.
 Shielded cables are provided to avoid ESD.

<strong>(RANGE MEASUREMENT):
TRANSCEIVER:</strong>
RF Source : 10.3 GHz (max).
Type : Integrated Transmitter/ Receiver.
Band : X – Band.
Output Power : 10 mW.
Tuning : Electronic Tuning
40MHz.Operating Voltage : +8 to
+10VDC.Operating Current :
200mA. Nominal Sensitivity : –
110dBc.

<strong>RADAR SIGNAL PROCESSING UNIT –USB BASED :</strong>
Radar signal processing unit will be supplied along with the trainer to log the
reflected signal from the targets and will be processed on to the computer using USB
port.
Range : 2 m to 10 m.
Software : Software will be provided in CD for the following
experimentation. Lab-Radar is a software application developed for
Educational purpose tohelp the Students to learn about RADAR PROCESSING
SYSTEM. Observing radar results in Oscilloscope (CRO) may not give you the
results in realistic manner. But the PPI gives you the radar results more realistically
and in graphical manner. Our Lab -Radar software provides you areal time output
of Radars using High speed Data Acquisition.
<strong>LAB-Radar software provides you,</strong>
 Interfacing high velocity Data Acquisition Card to computer.
 Study of Radar Plotting (PPI Method)
 Target identification.
 Realistic scanner with Grids.
 Radar Rotation speed controller.
 PPI.

<strong>INSTRUCTION MANUAL:</strong>
Detailed Step – By – Step instruction manual will be supplied.
Equipment Required (Not Included)
 Computer.
 Digital Multimeter.

<strong>LIST OF EXPERIMENTS THAT CAN BE CONDUCTED ON THE TRAINER:</strong>
 Introduction to the Experimental Radar System.
 Study of FM Doppler Radar System, outputs can be observed in the CRO.
 Study of Radar Display Methods o n computer (PPI Method) m ethod.
 Study of Transmitter and Receiver.
 Study of reflections from artificial targets, outputs can be observed in the
CRO.
 Study of measurement of velocity of a moving target with no of targets,
outputs can be observed in the CRO and PPI.
 Study of measurement of detection of stationary targets in a class room
environment and PPI. (Manual Tracking) is required for repeatabilit y and to
avoid multiple reflections
<strong>Limitations for Room environment testing, For Stationery Targets Measurement:</strong>
1. Avoid most reflective objects in the scanning area of the radar.
2. Manual tracking of targets is a must to make a specific target as a most
reflective object.
3. Intruding the microwave signal or replacement of targets will affect the
plotting.
4. Principles of RADAR functions are easily understood in this unit.
5. Do not compare this PPI, H/W with Commercial Radars (used in Air force,
militaries) because this unit is only for Educational Learning purpose.
