Creating Realistic Scenarios for Radar and EW Applications

应用文章

Overview

When deployed, radar and electronic warfare (EW) systems face an unpredictable environment filled with known and unknown signals that may include target returns, clutter, jamming, interference, and electromagnetic noise. During design and development, it has typically been difficult and costly to simulate realistic scenarios that thoroughly exercise system performance before deployment.

 

Today, a combination of commercial, off-the-shelf software and instrumentation from Keysight Technologies, Inc. is making it easier to create realistic signal scenarios such as multi-target returns in a complex electromagnetic environment. The software is Keysight SystemVue and its Radar Model Library (W1905). The key instruments are arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs) and vector signal generators.
