Simulate Dense Multi-Emitter RF Environments

Multi-emitter simulation requires generating many independent radio frequency (RF) signals with controlled frequency, power, timing, modulation, and spatial characteristics. Scenario generation can represent large emitter populations and high pulse densities while controlling pulse parameters that a receiver measures and processes.

Receiver evaluation can use pulse descriptor words (PDWs) containing parameters such as time of arrival, frequency, angle of arrival (AoA), pulse width, and modulation on pulse. Multiple synchronized signal-generation channels can represent signals arriving from different directions, enabling laboratory evaluation of direction-finding and emitter-sorting behavior in complex Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) scenarios.

Complex Multi-Emitter EMSO Simulation Solution

Multi-emitter testing requires generating controlled RF signals that reproduce the timing, frequency, power, modulation, and directional characteristics of a dense emitter environment. Keysight XG9 Agile Signal Generators create complex scenarios representing multiple simultaneous emitters and high pulse densities. Signal parameters can reproduce the characteristics used by receivers to form pulse descriptor words, including time of arrival, frequency, angle of arrival, pulse width, and modulation on pulse. Coordinated signal generation can also support laboratory simulation of direction-finding scenarios, allowing receiver signal processing, emitter sorting, tracking, and response behavior to be exercised under repeatable EMSO conditions.
