SkyRadar's Electronics Laboratory includes 3 subsets: analog electronics, digital electronics and microcontroller technology. Watch the videos.

Electrical theories, concepts and applications are the basis for all electronics, radar and communications engineering. We introduce this basic laboratory as entrance laboratory for new trainees, entering the world of´ATSEP.

Primary and secondary radar towers are electro-mechanical devices, with motors and motor control systems. SkyRadar's electromechanical laboratory provides a comprehensive learning environment for various kinds of motors and their control.

FreeScopes has evolved into the leading training environment for handling and visualizing radar I/Q data. We have added some nice features, which allow to easily include FreeScopes experiments into training programs or learning management systems.

In air traffic control, managing radar clutter is essential for ensuring both safety and operational efficiency. This article provides an in-depth look at the use of clutter maps and clutter-map-subtraction techniques, which are employed to filter out stationary and irrelevant objects from radar displays. By focusing on these advanced filtering methods, the article aims to shed light on how radar systems are optimized to allow air traffic controllers to concentrate on tracking moving aircraft.

This article dives into the critical role of zero-velocity filters in air traffic control, highlighting how they improve radar accuracy by eliminating stationary objects from the radar display. A video shows an implementation with SkyRadar FreeScopes.

Range Deception is a relevant approach used by aircraft and drones to deceive the supervising radars. 

Explore the intricacies of Range Deception in Electronic Warfare—a tactic used by aircraft and drones to mislead enemy radars. Learn how altering radar signal timings can affect an adversary's ability to accurately locate and target. Understand the strategic implications and countermeasures in this evolving field.

Explore Doppler filtering in radar imaging using SkyRadar's FreeScopes ATC II and SkySim. See how it refines target identification and reduces false alarms.

SkyRadar introduces an advanced object tracking methodology featuring both the linear Kalman filter and the interacting multiple model (iMM) filter. While the linear Kalman filter primarily focuses on longitudinal object positioning, the iMM algorithm expands capabilities to include lateral positioning, enhancing tracking robustness.
