A Cost-Effective Approach To Simulation For Electronic Warfare Systems
By Keysight Technologies
Electronic warfare (EW) comes in the forms of electronic attack (EA), electronic protection (EP), and electronic support (ES). The tightening of the DOD’s budget has made the already complex simulation of the spectral environments encountered by EW systems in field settings even more of a challenge.

Spotlight On Electronic Warfare

26.5 GHz RF/Microwave Signal Generator
BNC’s 845-R series of signal generators are ideal for use in R&D applications as a low-noise microwave source; in production testing, radar, WiMax, and UWB signal simulations; and for pulse modulation/chirps in aerospace and defense applications.


Real-Rime Radar Target Generation
This application note presents a Rohde & Schwarz solution for testing the complete radar system that transmits any kind of radar signal by generating radar echo signals with arbitrary range, Doppler frequency, and radar cross section in response. Hence, arbitrary virtual targets are generated making it possible to perform real-time tests on many kinds of aerospace and defense or commercial radar systems.


Ka-Band TWT Amplifier
The dB-3840 is a TWT amplifier (TWTA) operating in the frequency range of 34.5 to 35.5 GHz providing 700-Watts minimum peak output power at a duty cycle of up to 10 percent. A wideband, periodic permanent magnet (PPM)-focused, conduction-cooled TWT is used for power amplification.


Airbus Defence And Space Analyzes EMC Test Chambers
By incorporating the electromagnetic (EM) simulation tool, CST STUDIO SUITE®, into their compliance process, Airbus Defence and Space were able to accurately characterize how their test chamber was affected by a change to the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing standard.


Class AB Wideband RF Power Amplifier
AR Modular RF now offers an entire family of extremely compact, highly efficient, tough, durable RF amplifiers for use in jammers for electronic warfare and general communications applications.


Sub-Systems For Jamming, SIGINT, RWR, And ESM Market
Teledyne Microwave Solutions (TMS) provides basic building blocks for designing system-level assemblies, including digitally tuned oscillator, instantaneous frequency measurement receiver, frequency locked source, and transceiver with integrated LO and SDLVA. TMS uses these core building blocks plus digital processing, microprocessor control and digital signal analysis, to provide higher level assemblies that are used in SIGINT, ELINT RWR, and jamming applications.
