Radar and Electronic Warfare (EW) Applications

Application Notes

Introduction

 

Choosing the right emitter generation source to use for testing an Electronic Warfare (EW) application is a challenging task. Some of the difficulty arises because that decision must be informed by the test engineer’s own requirements, along with the nuances of each application, and that means that no one source is ideal in every situation. The other key reason for the difficulty is a lack of understanding. Most engineers simply don’t have the expertise to know what types of sources to use and when. And this issue isn’t just applicable to EW applications; it’s applicable to all Radar applications (e.g., landing systems, weather maps, etc.). In fact, any engineer testing either Radar or EW applications will at some point require an emitter generation source; whether to simulate warfare environments, run scenario testing by sending pulses into an environment to see how they and their receive systems react, or perform some other testing.
