Radar Quality Test System

Radar systems are used for military and civilian aviation, weather system tracking and automobile traffic control to name afew. All of these systems have several things in common, including transmitting and receiving reflected RF energy from a distant object to calculate speed, distance and sometimes elevation. These systems are very important for our safety and require accurate power measurement. This article will focus on aviation or ranging type radar that uses bursts, or chirps of pulse modulated waveforms for fine object detail, and has sensitive receivers for low noise measurements.

FEATURES:

• Frequency range: from 8.0 to 12.0 GHz (X-band)
• The system is designed to measure the power level of a radar pulsed signal. – Average input power: 500 W
• Peak input power: 400 kW
• Power measurement accuracy: ±1.5 dB
• Compatible with external test & measurement equipment
• Rack mount or Standalone form factor
