RADAR AND ELECTRONIC WARFARE––EFFICIENTLY DESIGN ANDVALIDATE RF SYSTEMS

PRODUCTS FOR THE ENTIRESYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFECYCLETektronix offers a wide range of hardware and software built tohelp you design and test mission-critical RF systems, such asmilitary comms, radar and electronic warfare—from algorithmprototyping to testing to ongoing maintenance. Our products arechoreographed to work together seamlessly to help you designand validate systems more efficiently. And with industry-leadingpre- and post-sale support, Tektronix is a true partner in design.Explore a selection of our Aerospace and Defense productsbelow, including ultra-wide bandwidth arbitrary waveformgenerators as well as real-time spectrum analyzers andoscilloscopes that display time-correlated measurements.

RADAR AND ELECTRONIC WARFARE3RE-CREATE REALISTIC RF ENVIRONMENTS ATULTRA-WIDE INSTANTANEOUS BANDWIDTHSRecreating realistic RFenvironments often requireschaining together multiplevector signal generators, whichhistorically have compromised onbandwidth and signal fidelity. Witharbitrary waveform generators(AWGs), you can instantly recreatecomplex signal environments atultra-wide bandwidths—muchwider than those created by anyvector signal generators.With ultra-wide instantaneous bandwidths, AWGs can help you evaluateRF systems in the lab with emulations of extremely realistic electromagneticenvironments and operational conditions.Whether you’re playing back reallife recordings, creating softwaresimulated waveforms and noise,or importing custom waveformsfrom external tools, AWGs arethe ideal tool for the job. Withextended memory options,phase-aligned channels and precompensation, an AWG can helpyou produce identical signals,every time.TROUBLESHOOT FASTER WITH TIME-CORRELATEDMEASUREMENTSWhen designing RF systems,identifying defect origins inhardware, firmware and softwarecan be a challenge. Becauseproblems are identified whenlooking at signals in a frequencydomain, you’re forced to usemultiple instruments to tediouslyidentify the time signal associatedwith the frequency behavior.Tektronix’s SignalVu-PC softwareallows for time-correlated RFmeasurements, so you can identifydefects and debug systems faster.TEK.COM/MIL-GOV

THE CHOREOGRAPHY OF SIGNALSTektronix oscilloscopes support multiple domains and multiple channels, so you can easily correlate RF signalcharacteristics to other signals in a system. Our oscilloscopes allow for up to eight channel inputs, each ofwhich can be used to look at one analog signal or eight digital logic signals. Examine the RF spectrum of anychannel alongside—and independent of—typical time domain measurements up to 10 GHz.Tektronix also gives you the uniqueability to capture analog, digitaland RF signals simultaneously in asingle acquisition, triggered by anyof the three domains. For example,power supply rails, command andcontrols, and RF characteristicscan all be tied together—alongwith the frequency and timedomain views of the RF content—to give you a more holistic view ofincoming signals.SEE ALL SPECTRAL CONTENT IN ONE VIEWTektronix Real-Time SpectrumAnalyzers are powered by ourpatented Digital Phosphortechnology (DPX ), which allowsyou to view live spectral contentand perform analysis in thefrequency, time and modulationdomain—all atthe same time.By instantly correlating yoursignal with other domains, you’llbe able to find the source of aproblem more quickly.Spectrogram display (bottom left panel) shows the frequency of an LFM pulsechanging over time. By selecting a point in time in the spectrogram during theon time of the pulse, the chirp behavior can be seen as it sweeps from low tohigh (upper right panel).TEK.COM/MIL-GOV

RADAR AND ELECTRONIC WARFARE5SIMULTANEOUSLY RECORD AND ANALYZE THERF SPECTRUMPreviously, spectrum recorders were unable to perform a live analysis while recording a test, so the analysisteam had to wait until the test was complete to run an analysis.But with the new Tektronix Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers, you can conduct a live analysis while recording, oryou can trigger on the RF spectrum during your recording to mark events of interest for later, all while storingI/Q data locally. The live view ensures you’re capturing the data you need from your test event, while avoidingany unfortunate surprises during post-processing.Streaming IQ with EthernetANALYZE PULSE CHARACTERISTICS WITHGREATER ACCURACYKnowing your system’s timedomain characteristics suchas pulse width and repetitioninterval are just as importantas its frequency and phasecharacteristics. Too often,mission-critical RF system failuresare a result of pulses not beinggenerated correctly in the timeand frequency domain, so it’sessential to be able to properlyanalyze pulse characteristics.Tektronix software gives you themost in-depth understandingof your radar pulses bysimultaneously analyzing millionsof pulses, over 31 differentmeasurement parameters, givingyou the most complete picture ofyour system performance.TEK.COM/MIL-GOV
