Multi-Emitter Generation Software Overview

Multi-Emitter Generation Software supports real-time synthesis and generation of arbitrary I/Q signals using PXI Vector Signal Transceivers (VSTs) and PXI FlexRIO coprocessor modules.

Key Features

Multi-Emitter Generation Software has the following features and capabilities.

  • RF generation based on the multi-emitter generation commands (MEG CMD) TDMA file per RF channel.
  • Generic multi-emitter generation CMD format provides parameters for I/Q generation.
  • Each RF channel supports eight signal cores—six modulation cores and two waveform playback cores—for multi-emitter and pulse-on-pulse generation.
  • Modulation cores support the following generation types:
    • Continuous wave (CW)
    • Linear-frequency modulation (LFM) waveform
    • Phase-shift keying (PSK) modulation
  • Waveform playback cores support generation of I/Q from user-defined waveform binary files that are converted to TDMS files and loaded into memory for playback.
  • Supports PXIe-5842 VST with up to 2 GHz instantaneous bandwidth (IBW).
