for time-domain
for the teaching
such as targets and
An oscilloscope is required for target echo visualization
on an A-scope display as well as time-domain
observation of signals at outputs and test points (the
Lab-Volt Model 797 Dual Trace Oscilloscope is
recommended).

display obtained using a conventional oscilloscope.
The Basic Radar Training System consists of a
transmitter, a receiver, three instrumentation modules,
an antenna with pedestal, a target positioning system,
and a set of accessories. A comprehensive student
manual and an instructor guide, which may be ordered
separately, are also provided
equipment provided in this data sheet for additional
information.
