The Basic Radar Training System, Model 8096-1, is
a complete set of hardware, courseware, and all
necessary accessories such as targets and
interconnecting cables that allows the principles of pulse,
CW Doppler, and FM-CW radar systems to be studied.
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).
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
