New Pulse Analysis Techniques For Radar And EW

Pulsed signals are widespread in radar and other EW applications, and they must be accurately measured for manufacturing, design of countermeasures, and threat assessment. However, pulse measurements are an especially challenging area for signal analysis due to a combination of factors.
Fortunately, many of the improving signal processing and analog-digital conversion technologies behind the generation of complex pulse environments also enable new techniques for effective pulse analysis. This application note will discuss the best tools for different types of pulse analysis, along with display and analysis techniques for various signals and measurement goals. This note also will cover key signal acquisition and processing technologies such as IF and frequency mask triggering, signal capture, and post-processing.
