Cost-Effective Development & Verification Solution for Electronic Warfare Systems

The evaluation of EW systems has many aspects, and these have implications for the construction of a complete test

solution. Beyond baseband signal simulation and analysis of threat and non-threat emitters, key issues include

up/down-conversion, signal-scenario length, gapless capture of signals and multi-channel coherency. This paper

describes an effective solution that can address SIGINT systems, radar warning receivers and signal jammers; without

consuming an entire equipment budget.

Real-time Recordings of Wide-bandwidth EW Signals, Event Detection in Post-processing and Pulse Verification

Characterization of radar and EW systems can be daunting: it's necessary to understand signal parameters such as

frequency agility plus varying pulse widths, repetition intervals and modulation formats. The ability to determine timing

relationships during threat/response interactions is especially important. Because long-duration recordings of real-

world signals create very large I/Q data sets, system engineers often need tools that reduce the time (and cost)

required to analyse and understand emitter interactions. Equally important is reducing the time required to locate and

isolate events of interest. This paper will describe the important tasks and challenges in collecting and processing long-

duration recordings of non-cooperative emitters. Additionally, signal-generation tools, used to synthesize complex RF

environments and validate collected signals prior to mission day, are described. These generators also can model

modern threat scenarios for use as stimuli in the lab and on the range. 

Generating Wideband, Multi-channel Radar Signals Using High-speed Arbitrary Waveform Generators

Flexibility in waveform generation enables application of virtually any modulation scheme on RADAR pulses, including

those with extremely wide bandwidths. High-speed, multi-channel arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs) make it

possible to produce such signals at frequencies up to 32 GHz without up-conversion while achieving bandwidths of up

to 10 GHz. AWGs having 16 or more channels, in a compact form factor, can be implemented cost-effectively using a

modular architecture. This paper compares the pros and cons of direct RF signal generation via high-speed AWG versus

the traditional approach that uses separate baseband generation and I/Q up-conversion. 

Using Calibration to Reduce Uncertainty when Testing Angle of Arrival in Direction-finding Receivers

EW receivers often use angle of arrival (AoA) as a primary sorting parameter in dense signal environments. Reducing

the uncertainty in direction-finding (DF) receiver measurements leads to better accuracy in AoA estimation. Prior to

AoA accuracy testing in a lab setting, calibration -- process, application and verification -- can be performed at the

interface to the system under test. This paper examines three measurement receivers that enable effective calibration:

power meters, oscilloscopes, and vector network analysers. These are used to measure uncertainty in amplitude offset,

phase offset, and time skew. With that data, closed-form expressions of the total uncertainty can be derived according

to the current ISO Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurements
