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 Low Pass Filters
RF low pass filters pass signals from low frequencies and reject signals from high frequencies.
RF Filters and Microwave 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.
RF Adapters
RF adapters are used to connect different waveguides and/or coaxial cables. They are passive devices that direct radio frequency (RF) signals with minimal return loss.
Noise Generators and Sources
Noise generators and sources are used to produce noise outputs for testing radio frequency (RF) equipment.
