Product overview
R&S®Pulse Sequencer is the radar and electronic warfare (EW) signal simulation software from Rohde & Schwarz: on a PC it builds radar signals intuitively, from a single pulse up to highly demanding pulse sequences. It handles modulation on pulse (MOP), special pulse shapes and pulse-to-pulse modulation, and simulates multimode radar emitters, jammers and receivers with a choice of antenna patterns and scans. Propagation loss models are included, so real-world RF power levels are reproduced, and scenarios can use moving platforms, 6-DOF trajectories and maps. Together with an R&S®SMW200A, SMBV100B, SGT100A or SMM100A vector signal generator it produces RF or digital output signals, and with several coupled SMW200A generators it also simulates angle of arrival (AoA) for characterizing direction finding equipment.
Key features
- Pulse and pulse sequence simulation: from simple pulses for component test to complex sequences with modulation on pulse (MOP), special pulse shapes and pulse-to-pulse modulation
- Real-time sequencing on the R&S®SMW200A gives very long play times and millions of pulses, with frequency, phase and level agility
- Radar scenario generation: scenes with multimode emitters, jammers and receivers, importable custom antenna patterns and scans, and propagation loss models included
- Map-based scenario generation: highly dynamic 3D scenarios in the lab, with static or moving platforms and 6 degrees of freedom (6-DOF) motion
- Angle of arrival (AoA) simulation: with several coupled SMW200A generators, for verifying amplitude comparison, interferometric and time difference of arrival (TDOA) direction finders
- Dynamic frequency selection (DFS) signal generation: radar profiles as specified in Europe (ETSI), the USA (FCC), Japan (MIC), Korea and China
- Pulse interleaving and multi-emitter simulation, up to 512 interleaved emitters with the matching option
- Generates RF and digital radar receiver test signals, and supports scenario elements such as 5G interferers
Typical applications
- Laboratory testing of radar receivers and radar warning receivers (RWR)
- Electronic warfare (EW) and electronic support measures (ESM) system verification
- Threat scenario simulation and reproduction of a multi-emitter electromagnetic environment
- Performance characterization of direction finding (DF) and angle of arrival (AoA) equipment
- Dynamic frequency selection (DFS) radar profile testing against national regulations
- Replacing expensive field trials with laboratory testing, on a COTS solution
