RF Capture and Playback Suite

Closed-Loop Advanced RF Signal Simulation System

The RF Capture and Playback Suite provides RF design engineers the flexibility and versatility to simulate, analyze, record and modify advanced RF signals in most any environment: the field or the lab. Test times are reduced, but performance is still assured with this scalable system, which has an unrivaled 5 GHz transmit bandwidth and real-time spectrum analysis at carrier frequencies up to 14 GHz.

X-COM Systems leverages its proven knowledge of military radar systems with Tektronix world-class test-and-measurement expertise to create a COTS real-time RF signal monitoring and analysis test system that is unmatched.

The closed-loop system consists of the following products:

The diagram above shows how an initial waveform is created using an AWG7000 or WaveCAFE software. This waveform is then transferred to the radar system where it is broadcast. The return signal is passed onto the scope or captured directly from the RF spectrum via the RSA6100a. Up to 3 terabytes of the captured data can be stored to the RTC1 real-time capture device. Data from the IQC1040 can be imported into WaveCAFE  for analysis or modification. The data files can be loaded to the DX-10G for playback or system emulation.

Features:

  • Simulate
    • Create advanced wide bandwidth waveforms with 10 GS/s sample rates
  • Analyze
    • Simultaneously display, dynamically update, and plot results in multiple analysis windows using both the time and frequency domains
    • Analyze bandwidths of up to 8 GHz or more with the DPO7000
  • Record/Playback
    • Record I&Q directly from real-time spectrum analyzer
    • Up to 90 minutes of I&Q playback at 110 MHz full span
  • Modify
    • No Programming Required; use menu-driven interfaces to create precise waveforms by selecting the type of waveform and entering the associated parameters
    • Design IIR, FIR or custom filters
  • Capture
    • Tektronix DPX® displays transients as short as 24 µs with 100% probability of intercept
    • All signals in up to 110 MHz spans are captured into memory
  • Trigger
    • Tektronix exclusive 40 MHz and 110 MHz frequency mask triggers (FMT) offer easy event-based capture of transient RF signals by triggering on any change in the frequency domain

  • Real-time Signal Recording and playback
    • Radar
    • Sonar
    • Satellite
    • Video
    • SIGINT
    • ELINT
    • COMINT
