Radar has become a key sensor technology in automotive, medicine, automation, and - of course - in air traffic control and homeland security. New skills are needed to make it a success. But still curricula are dominated by dinosaur concepts like phased array, chaff clouds, jamming and electronic counter measures. Hey, let us bury that. And let us educate responsible members of our society to build a peaceful future. We need no backward oriented half-educated dummies, who are an easy prey for ruthless leaders. An appeal ...

This document suggests a curriculum to teach with the SkyRadar Pulse, PSR and the FMCW. It is a practically oriented curriculum for bachelor studies in engineering universities and air traffic control personnel (ATCO and ATSEP).

The video gives a quick introduction into Localizer Array Antenna Beamforming in SkyRadar's  NavAids simulator, made for ATSEP and ATCO personnel in civil aviation.

For beginners, it is difficult to start off and to enter the radar world. The pedagogically designed FreeScopes application together with SkyRadar's radars gives easy access to the concept of radars - hands on.

Why do we use I/Q signals in radar technology? Here you find a simple explanation.

The power spectral density (PSD) of a signal describes the distribution of power into the frequency components, which compose the resulting signal. Power spectral density is commonly expressed in watts per hertz (W/Hz).

This document describes exercises for the SkyRadar 24 GHz PSR as well as for the NextGen 8 GHz Pulse Radar.

Mohammed VI International Academy of Civil Aviation (AIAC) in Morocco has implemented a distance education system to ensure educational continuity by providing its students with high quality digital and audiovisual resources to continue studying from home.
