Signal source designed for UWB, radar test

-- Test & Measurement World, 10/13/2008 10:33:00 AM

The R&S AFQ100B baseband signal source from Rohde & Schwarz works with the company's R&S AFQ-K264 software to generate test signals for WiMedia UWB (ultrawideband) components such as receivers or I/Q modulators. With its 528-MHz bandwidth, the instrument also has the capability to handle aerospace and defense applications. In addition, Rohde & Schwarz offers options that permit the signal source to generate signals for other digital communications standards such as WCDMA, HSPA+, WiMAX, WLAN, and LTE.

For aerospace and defense applications, the R&S AFQ100B can deliver signals with modulated pulses or wide, nonlinear chirps for testing radar systems, according to the company. Pulse sequencer software permits users to configure pulsed signals, including any type of analog or digital modulation. Plug-ins for inserting classified contents into the pulses are also available.

To accommodate aerospace and defense companies that prefer to generate the required signals themselves, Rohde & Schwarz offers toolboxes that permit the transfer of those signals to the R&S AFQ100B. A removable hard disk enables manufacturers to keep confidential data secure.
