Solutions for Wideband Radar
and Satcom Measurements
Application Brief
Using wide bandwidth oscilloscopes to
directly measure and analyze X, Ku, and
Ka-band Radar and Satcom transmitter
outputs up to 62 GHz
Overview
A growing trend in Satellite communication (Satcom) and Radar systems
in the aerospace and defense market is the need for increased signal and
analysis bandwidth and processing gain. Satcom systems are being driven
by demands for increased data rates, while modern Radar systems require
more processing gain to improve range resolution, which in turn drives
wider modulation bandwidths. Modern Radar systems also employ more
complex pulse modulation signal formats to improve range resolution and
lower the probability of intercept and jamming. Many Radar and Satcom
systems operate at microwave frequencies (e.g., X, Ku and Ka bands), which
helps to support wider modulation bandwidths, increased capacity, and
also offers the benefit of smaller antennas.
In some cases, the wide bandwidths required exceed the intermediate
frequency (IF) bandwidths of commercially available RF spectrum analyz-
ers and vector (or FFT) signal analyzers. Coupled with the higher operating
frequencies, this creates a significant set of challenges for RF engineers
testing Radar and Satcom transmitters.
Problem
Quickly, accurately and cost-effectively measuring the performance of
RF/microwave transmitters in today's Radar and Satcom applications is
a challenging task. In some cases (e.g., to measure a Satcom transmit-
ter's Error Vector Magnitude (EVM)), the transmitter output can't always
be measured directly. Engineers often have to rely on custom-built down-
converter hardware to down-convert the RF/microwave frequencies to an IF
frequency that can then be measured with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)
test equipment.
Unfortunately, the non-recurring engineering costs associated with
designing, building and testing the hardware can be counterproductive.
The down-converter hardware also adds its own RF impairments that can
mask the actual performance of the RF/microwave transmitter under test.
Moreover, distortion may occur that contributes to the overall EVM being
measured, making it difficult to discern how much EVM is from the actual
transmitter output. With no other available option, many RF engineers are
left with the measurement accuracy uncertainty that comes from this less
than ideal approach.
