Series 1100 Radar Generator

Product Details

The Eastern OptX Series 1100 Radar Target Simulator is a true propagation path replicator. The Series 1100 receives the signal transmitted from a radar system and adds the round-trip propagation delay associated with the target distance. That signal is then output to the radar receiver. The radar I/O may be connected directly to the Series 1100 or detected and transmitted using user specified antenna. For a moving target the system will add the appropriate Doppler shift associated with the target speed and radar frequency. The Series 1100 is broad band with ranges up to 40 GHz and with a dynamic range of over 100 dB.

Eastern OptX Series 1100 Radar Target Simulator is a true propagation path replicator. The Series 1100 receives the signal transmitted from a radar system and adds the round-trip propagation delay associated with the target distance. That signal is then output to the radar receiver. The radar I/O may be connected directly to the Series 1100 or received and trans-mitted with user specified antenna. For a moving target the system will add the appropriate Doppler shift associated with the target speed and Radar frequency.

The Series 1100 is broad band with ranges up to 40 GHz with a dynamic range of over 100 dB. The Series 1100 operates with pulsed, frequency hopping, or CW radars and with any encryption or modulation scheme. It is expandable in range and operation modes to accommodate new systems designs.

The block diagram shows a typical Series 1100 System used with a common antenna radar system. The Series 1100 receives the signal transmit-ted from the radar, provides the necessary target delay, propagation loss, and Doppler, and then transmits back to the radar receiver. 60 dB of Input to Output Isolation is typical for most applications. Greater isolation is optional. Single antenna systems with octave band isolators are also available for specific radar bands. Direct RF connection to Radar and Series 1100 without external antenna is permissible and common. The System Operates with single antenna or phased array systems. Optional multiple target generation is available with single or multiple output emissions.
