Fueled by the global adoption and application of AESA technology, the science of Electronic Warfare is rapidly evolving. As an engineer who needs to design test systems to emulate the latest threats you are challenged to do this not only with COTS hardware, but it must be able to generate a diverse set of threats and EW techniques – ranging from legacy deployed radars to the most advanced High Resolution SAR or Moving Target Indicator radars.
Cost and times constraints makes it increasingly difficult to design a new test system for every program. Of course we all know that a versatile COTS based hardware platform strategy is often what is requested, however the advanced nature of the signals required make it an almost impossible goal.
To develop new and legacy threats quickly and easily a combination of high speed multiple channel frequency synthesis and broadband up-conversion – as now provided in the new GT-ASGM18A Advanced Signal Generator – used in conjunction with existing advanced arbitrary waveform generators give you the critical platform building blocks to create powerful new test systems, or even provide easy augmentation to existing systems. The GT-ASGM18A, combined with an Arbitrary Waveform Generator gives you the hardware to create almost any type of threat waveform set or technique you require.
