Tragic accidents keep on happening with intensifying air traffic. Although we might never bring the risk down to zero, there are ways to minimize it and in the unfortunate case of an accident to have emergency protocols in place that will limit the damage.

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.
