WaveCAFE™

Create, Analyze, Filter, and Export Custom Waveforms

Currently under development, WaveCAFE™ software provides engineers and scientists with an effective tool to quickly import, create, analyze, digitally filter, and export various waveforms used for emerging software-defined radio and radar applications.

This Windows-based application allows users to easily create waveform files or import existing MatLab or ArbExpress files. The user can then digitally filter and simultaneously view these specialized RF waveform files in both the time and frequency domains.

Waveforms for applications such as software-defined radar can now be created in far less time and with greater ease. Technical professionals can implement waveforms with very wide bandwidths, exceptional linearity, and enhanced spectral efficiency for their specific RF waveform application without a long and painful learning curve, and without writing a single line of code.

Features:

  • No Programming Required
    • Menu-driven interface enables user to create precise waveforms by selecting the type of waveform and entering the associated parameters
  • Digitally Filter Waveforms
    • Design IIR, FIR or custom filters with no programming required
  • Data Export
    • Easily export data to an Arbitrary Waveform Generator
  • Integrated Analysis Capability
    • Simultaneously display, dynamically update, and plot results in multiple analysis windows using both the time and frequency domains
  • Multiple Interactive Views
    • Analyze, plot, zoom, or compare waveforms with multiple points of analysis
  • Industry Compatible
    • Import, modify, and view any existing MatLab, MathCAD, ArbExpress or ASCII files
  • Export created waveforms directly to your digital RF signal source
  • Optional IQ Playback and Pre-distortion modulation packages available

Applications:

  • Wide Bandwidth Analysis
    • Analyze signals from emerging technologies that require bandwidths beyond the physical limits imposed by conventional RF Analyzer
  • Custom Waveform Creation:
    • Frequency Modulated Waveforms
    • Linear, Log or Quadratic
    • Stepped Frequency Waveforms
    • Barker Code Waveforms
  • Signal Modification
    • Generate Noise
    • Implement Frequency Masks
  • Digital Filtering
    • Filter Using IIR and FIR Techniques
    • Create Various Impulse Responses
  • Pulse Analysis and Comparison

Waveform Creation Simplified:

X-COM’s WaveCAFE™ software streamlines the mathematically intensive and time consuming process of creating complex RF waveforms. With just a few clicks of the mouse, users can choose to create, analyze, filter, or export custom waveforms directly to a digital RF signal source, which can then be amplified and used for RF transmission.

Create:
Create or import most any waveform at the touch of a button
Analyze:
Simultaneously view or modify waveforms from multiple points of view
Filter:
Create various impulse responses and digitally filter waveforms
Export:
Directly load waveforms to an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG)
