Webinar – AESA Radar Systems End-to-End performance evaluation

Summary

With the increasing complexity of today’s Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar systems it becomes more difficult to be competitive when bidding for projects and committing to aggressive time-to-market schedules. Fortunately design automation tools have matured to enable a more certain design before building a hardware prototype.

PathWave System allows verification of radar performance under various signal conditions. This can include target and Radar Cross Section (RCS) scenarios, clutter conditions, jammers and environmental interferers, and more. The Radar system designer can explore architectures with high confidence early in design, without requiring expensive outdoor range testing or hardware simulators. This is done by accounting for a diverse set of environmental effects, while maintaining an open modeling environment (including MATLAB, C++, HDL and test equipment),

Three Key Learnings: 

• Developing realistic radar system design that includes dynamic 3D platform and moving target scenarios
• Integrating the effect of Phased Array TX/RX antennas
• Take into account physical effects (i.e. nonlinearities, noise, etc.) of the analog and RF subsystems on end-to-end radar system performance
