Emulate Real-World Targets and Conditions

Aug. 2, 2021
A radar signal’s combination of carrier frequency, modulation bandwidth, and a pulsed nature create challenging test requirements. Modern instruments offer much higher signal quality, cost-effectiveness, and repeatability than traditional solutions.

Generating radar signals is one of the most challenging tasks for a signal generator. The increasing complexity of radar systems, growing use of complex modulation techniques such as OFDM or UWB, and the signal quality requirements for a successful test impose severe constraints on the stimulus equipment used in radar testing. Emulating multi-antenna radar systems based on phased-array antennas or more recently, MIMO architectures, makes it necessary to generate multiple signals with tightly controlled timing and phase alignments.
