Testing Radar and EW Systems for the Real-World

摘要

The latest generations of radar and EW systems operate in a variety of frequency bands and use wideband or UWB signals that carry highly complex modulation schemes. These systems also use advanced DSP techniques to mask or disguise their operation and thereby avoid jamming. Within the operating environment, the complexities may include multiple targets, ground clutter, sea clutter, jamming, interference, wireless communication signals and other forms of electromagnetic noise. Depending on the type of radar or EW system, the test platform must be capable of producing a variety of signals: pulse Doppler, wideband, UW and beyond.
