Analysis of modern radar and electronic warfare signals using advanced RF measurement techniques - Story
July 11, 2017
Modern radar and electronic warfare (EW) systems rely on sophisticated signal processing and complex radio-frequency (RF) modulation on pulse. Without proper signal design verification, these techniques may not be effective during critical engagements, which could be catastrophic for the operator. Determining the radar's ability to successfully detect and track targets or an EW system's ability to identify threats and avoid detection or tracking can be challenging. Advanced RF signal analysis and RF pulsed signal capture techniques (variable segment length, de-interleaving, duplex IF real-time analysis) that enable designers to measure signal parameters and confirm the proper operation of their radar or EW systems.

Using calibration to reduce the cost of satellite design and test - Story
June 19, 2017
What is now known as "NewSpace" introduces business challenges that older satellite programs did not encounter. One example is the creation of constellations of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites - much smaller and lighter (

Get results you can trust - Story
March 01, 2017
In a system or on a lab bench, proper instrument calibration reduces the chances of ?false pass? or ?false fail? test results. But not all calibrations are equal. Six key factors affect the quality, usefulness and cost of calibration: extent of testing, information provided, measurement uncertainty, calibration periodicity, service speed, and service packages. In Six Axes of Calibration, we highlight the importance and value of each factor.Download application note.

Using DSP and RF circuit co-design to reduce risk and cost - Story
October 11, 2016
In all areas of business, increased communication leads to more streamlined processes and greater potential for success. This is no less true in system design. Within large design organizations, baseband field programmable gate array (FPGA) and radio frequency (RF) signal processing communities have traditionally been separated both physically and by the resources available to them--with each group using very different techniques and tools. Today, however, many RF functions are moving into the algorithmic world and this is making communication between the two areas more crucial than ever.

Oscilloscope segmented memory and pulse analysis software provide FM chirp pulsed RF evaluation - Story
September 08, 2016
A class of pulsed radio frequency (RF), microwave, and mmWave applications present a measurement challenge to radar and electronic warfare (EW) designers due to the need for wide analysis bandwidth, as well as a desire to evaluate a significant time period of system activity. Segmented memory in wideband oscilloscopes may be used, including pulse analysis software, to address these challenges. Radar and EW applications can also be further explored in terms of pulse amplitude, frequency and phase measurements, and optimizing accuracy.
