Pulse, FM Linear and frequency hopping modulation analysis for electronic warfare
Imagine trying to make sense of a crowded conversation – voices overlapping and details lost. Now, picture having the ability to separate and understand each voice distinctly. Keysight’s new 89601ITQC PathWave Vector Signal Analysis software does just that for pulse signals, distinguishing between simultaneous transmissions and revealing the nuances of each emitter.
In addition, this new extension brings multi-channel support, segmented capture for efficient data handling, and customizable analysis metrics, making it an essential asset for anyone tasked with characterizing jammers or optimizing radar performance. With this tool, the invisible becomes visible, and the complex becomes manageable. Dive deeper, see further, and redefine what’s possible in radar pulse analysis.
Highlights
- Identify and log key metrics for pulse modulated radar signals in aerospace, defense, and electronic warfare.
- Verify pulse accuracy relating to modulation quality, RF power, amplitude settling, time metrics, pulse compression, emitter deinterleaving, frequency hopping, pattern search, and angle-of-arrival with detailed summary tables.
- Connect to over 400 Keysight instruments, from broadband oscilloscopes to high-end signal analyzers and streaming digitizers.
- Leverage segmented capture to record only the active part of the pulse, optimizing memory usage of stored waveform files.
- Extend your analysis with advanced radar, enabling independent pulse tables per channel, and analysis of regions of constant phase, frequency, or chirp rate within an RF burst.
- Look for pulse metric trends and evaluate system robustness using cumulative statistics, histograms, and trend lines.
- Visualize pulse power, frequency, and time with the instantaneous acquisition spectrogram trace view.
- Determine emitter angle based on multi-channel scan patterns over tens of seconds.
- Compare measured individual and trains of pulses to references, delivering insights on pulse quality and pulse signature patterns.
