The Radar Unit “ERA” is a radar unit, designed by EDIBON, to study the basic principles about the radar technology.
The ERA unit uses a compact radar which allows students to acquire solid formation about the operation, configuration and installation of a radar system without any previous knowledge. In addition to this, ERA unit allows students to operate and manage a professional radar system.
Students will be able to know different radar concepts such as radar antenna, range and bearing measurement, rain suppressor, sensitivity control, guard zone, etc.
