Generating Frequency Chirp Signals to Test Radar Systems

From Aeroflex Incorporated
 

 

Radar systems frequently use pulse modulated signals which may also incorporate a linear frequency sweep (chirp) or frequency hopping to enhance the performance of the system. The 3410 series digital RF signal generators can be used to simulate these signals when testing the receiver and amplifier systems.

Products & Services
RF amplifiers are devices that accept a varying input signal and produce an output signal that varies in the same way, but with larger amplitude. Search by Specification | Learn more about RF Amplifiers
RF low pass filters pass signals from low frequencies and reject signals from high frequencies. Search by Specification | Learn more about RF Low Pass Filters
RF filters and microwave filters are devices that pass or reject signals by frequency. Basic types include bandpass filters, band reject filters, low pass filters, and high pass filters. Search by Specification | Learn more about RF Filters and Microwave Filters
