Measuring radar pulses can be difficult. Wave form picture
5 Parameters for Measuring Radar Pulses Friday, September 18, 2020
Radar systems can use continuous wave (CW) signals or, more commonly, low duty-cycle pulsed signals. Although there are several continuous transmission types of radar, primarily Doppler, the great majority of radars are pulsed. The RF pulse characteristics reveal a great deal about a radar's capability. Electronic Warfare (EW) and Electronic lntelligence (ELINT) experts specialize in the study of …

What is Probability of Intercept (POI) and Why it Matters Thursday, September 10, 2020
One term we see quite often when breaking down spectrum analyzers is probability of intercept (POI). So, what is the definition of probability of intercept and why does it matter? When we see “probability of intercept” we should know that this term is almost always a contraction of the phrase “minimum event duration for 100% probability of intercept”. POI is the amount of time equal to “the …

Analyze DAQ and DMM Data from Home with New Keithley and Initial State Integration Tuesday, September 1, 2020
I remember the days as a senior project manager in a new product development environment where teams were under extreme pressure to quickly launch high quality products for critical applications. This meant life cycle testing was a must. I absolutely hated when a test would terminate in the middle of the night with no notice—it wasted valuable time and capacity on our test rigs. I spent countless …

Streamlining Your Equipment Calibration Program by Leveraging the Cloud Thursday, August 20, 2020
The asset management systems in place at many organizations are not able to deliver the data necessary to allow you to make good decisions about your business. We see it all the time, and if you’re in charge of calibration, you’ve likely lived it. A system of binders and hand-written documentation form the foundation of equipment calibration, creating gaps and redundancy. What’s more, if the …
