Radar System Test

  • Deliver New Radar Capabilities Faster

    In the race for spectrum superiority, being able to test and deliver advanced radar capabilities faster provides a competitive edge. Modern radar systems include advanced components, digital subsystems, and waveforms. Radar system engineers are being tasked with delivering more capability faster, thus finding errors early in design is critical. Testing more, testing early, and digital testing allows for fewer surprises in open air range tests and enables confidence in system performance faster.

End-to-End Radar System Test

NI’s approach to radar test starts with a modular and scalable platform providing a common configuration for parametric test to full system level validation. Whether it’s signal tests, system-level radar target generation, or full electromagnetic environment emulation, NI helps you to find errors earlier in the design cycle, reducing costs and increasing your confidence in systems’ mission readiness. With the combination of robust software, system test IP, and hardware solutions, NI strengthens your mission to achieve electromagnetic spectrum superiority.

FEATURED SOLUTION

Radar Target Generation

The NI Radar Target Generation Software provides additional functionality for the PXIe Vector Signal Transceiver for radar system-level test. The RTG software is created on top of the VST as a closed-source, license-restricted, and pre-compiled FPGA personality that allows the VST to operate as a closed-loop, real-time radar target generator.
