Identifying Common Test Challenges

 

Radio detection and ranging (RADAR) systems, as they were originally called, have blossomed into a wide array of indispensible equipment for military and civilian use. Today, there are many types of radars designed for numerous applications. Scanning radars, moving target indicators (MTI), Doppler weather radars, guided missile seekers, phased array early warning systems, ground penetrating radars, synthetic aperture satellite survey radars, aviation radar altimeters, automotive collision avoidance radars, aircraft radars, and a host of other special purpose radars define today's growing industry.

 

With the development of radar systems, often for military purposes, the electronic intelligence (ELINT) that could be gained from radar signals was of great value in coping with the potential threats that are often attached to the radar (ships, planes, and missiles). This proved to be the catalyst for the associated technologies called electronic warfare (EW).

 

Regardless of complexity, radar, EW, and ELINT systems share many common test challenges.
