Radar Test & Electronic Warfare (EW) Test

As technology evolves so do the challenges in detection, avoidance, electronic warfare and countermeasures. In all cases, the testing of today's systems will benefit from high-performance test equipment — analog and vector signal generators, spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers, vector network analyzers and more. From simulations of an arriving wavefront with multiple emitters to testing of precision components in a receiver, our solutions are ready for the complexity of radar test and EW test applications.
