Z2098B V-UXG Threat Simulator Source System

The Z2098B V-UXG Threat Simulator Source System is a fully integrated system that provides coherent RF signals for simulating complex threat scenarios. It is designed for testing electronic warfare (EW) systems and radar warning receivers (RWRs) in the 20/40 GHz frequency range. The system consists of one or two racks, each containing one or two N5193A UXG Agile Signal Generators as local oscillators (LOs) and four, eight, twelve or sixteen N5194A UXG Agile Vector Adapters as vector sources. The system also includes thermal stabilization, power distribution, trigger and microwave distribution, and external combiners. The system can provide one to four channels with four to sixteen ports per channel, depending on the configuration. Each channel can emulate multiple time-multiplexed emitters or beams with high accuracy and stability. The Z2098B V-UXG Threat Simulator Source System comes with the Thermal Control Utility software that allows the user to monitor and control the thermal environment of the system. The system also supports pulse descriptor word (PDW) streaming via 10 Gb/s optical LAN for source control. The system can be calibrated using an appropriate companion Z2098B-172 series calibration system that provides NIST traceable calibration using electronic calibration modules (Ecal), power sensors, and CalPod® modules. The calibration system also includes a UXA Spectrum/Signal Analyzer for troubleshooting and scenario development. The Z2098B V-UXG Threat Simulator Source System offers best-in-class performance and flexibility for creating realistic and challenging threat simulations. It has the following key features and benefits: - High spectral purity, low broadband noise, and very low absolute phase noise for both LOs and vector sources - 512 M-samples internal memory per source (upgradable to 4G/6G-samples per source) - 200 MHz narrowband mode (upgradable to 1.6 GHz wideband mode) - Multiple user configurable markers and external triggers for synchronization with external events - Thermal stabilization to reduce phase and amplitude variation due to environmental changes - Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment for easy maintenance and repair - Scalable and modular design for future expansion and customization The Z2098B V-UXG Threat Simulator Source System is available in eight different models, depending on the frequency range, number of LOs, and number of vector sources.
