 Conquering Radar Signal Generation

What are the challenges related to the creation and generation of complex radar signals and what are the tools to help make this task more efficient? Gain these insights and learn how to avoid common traps when creating and generating complex signals with this hour long webinar.

You’ll learn:

• Why radar signals are particularly difficult to create and generate.
• Methods that will help reduce the complex issues of writing & debugging one’s own signal generation code.
• How specific waveform generation tools can improve efficiencies and speed up the overall testing time.
• The benefits of how specific software can remove the time required to learn all the features of the hardware used.

Let us help you decode radar signal generation with our informative webinar from Tektronix.

 3. RF & Cell Site Technology and Antenna Systems

 Designing Combiner Systems

TX RX engineers use a proprietary, computer-aided design tool that streamlines the design process, even when complex frequency issues are involved, to quickly create solutions customized to meet unique needs.

Duration: 26:46

 Tx Antenna Power and Rx Antenna Remote Monitoring

The transmit antenna power monitor and receive antenna monitor remotely observe and measure land mobile radio (LMR) system performance parameters. This decreases the need for preventive maintenance visits to LMR sites and increase the ability to address degrading trends before end users become aware.

Duration: 32:52

 Customization & Versatility of TX RX Combiner/Multicouplers

TX RX will discuss their ability to create custom, complex combiner and multi coupler designs. For example, one of their competitive advantages is their ability to mix different cavity types and sizes to get the best performance for the dollar, rather than use all 6” and/or off-the-shelf cavities.

Duration: 25:09

 Milled Filters

The webinar topics include a general overview of different RF filter types, an introduction to milled filters and their typical uses, the design process for milled filters, examples of milled filter designs, a discussion of their uses in duplexers, and the major advantages and disadvantages of choosing this filter type.
