Generating Radar Signals Using SystemVue’s Radar Library
应用文章
Modern radar systems use more complex signal formats working in wide or ultra-wide bandwidths, and operating in different frequencies (e.g., X, Ku and Ka bands). They also use advanced digital signal processing techniques to disguise their operation and overcome strong clutter and jamming in their environment. Addressing this complexity requires the generation of realistic test signals and system-level scenarios that can be used to create and verify the radar signal processing algorithms. While dedicated hardware simulators and field testing are typically used to generate these test signals, both are costly, time consuming and apply later in the design process. This application note presents a less expensive option for generating test signals early in system development. This approach to system-level design and verification uses the Keysight Technologies, Inc. SystemVue environment, a Radar Model Library and commercial offthe-shelf test equipment for generation of continual and pulse radar waveforms, for both algorithm and hardware verification.
