Threat Simulation and Verification for Radar Warning Receiver Testing

Application Note Overview 

Optimizing EW simulation realism in lab testing ensures that an EW receiver is ready for flight testing which can cost millions of dollars per hour and must be scheduled months in advance. Lab testing, therefore, reduces cost and schedule risk by ensuring that the EW receiver passes flight testing the first time. As test complexity increases, so does the test realism, but so do the difficulties in troubleshooting failures and verifying scenarios. This application note explains threat simulation and verification; involving testing EW receivers at RF in the lab with commercial, off-the-shelf signal generators and software.
