Radar Pulse Analysis for Electronic Warfare – PathWave Vector Analysis (89600 VSA)
Technical Overviews
Key Features
- Identify and log key metrics for pulse modulated radar signals in aerospace, defense, and electronic warfare
- Verify pulse accuracy relating to modulation quality, RF power, amplitude settling, time metrics, pulse compression, emitter deinterleaving, frequency hopping, pattern search, and angle-of-arrival with detailed summary tables
- Connect to over 400 Keysight instruments, from broadband oscilloscopes to high-end signal analyzers and streaming digitizers
- Leverage segmented capture to record only the active part of the pulse, optimizing memory usage of stored waveform files
- Extend your analysis with advanced radar, enabling independent pulse tables per channel, and analysis of regions of constant phase, frequency or chirp rate within an RF burst
- Look for pulse metric trends and evaluate system robustness using cumulative statistics, histograms, and trend lines
- Visualize pulse power, frequency, and time with the instantaneous acquisition spectrogram trace view
- Determine emitter angle based on multi-channel scan patterns over tens of seconds
- Compare measured individual and trains of pulses to references, delivering insights on pulse quality and pulse signature patterns
