The
TESTER (Model L8802) simulator provides advanced technology
solutions for Electronic Warfare (EW) laboratories worldwide.
TESTER - an acronym for Threat Emitter Simulation Test Environment
Replicator - is a small, powerful, single RF channel system
that is compatible with the standard HIDESS system.
TESTER
accurately tests advanced radar warning receivers and other
EW equipment by providing realistic threat signals and scenarios.
The simulator preserves the characteristics of both the
radar signal and real-world operational environment.
The
system emulates standard radar, pulse Doppler or continuous
waveform signals, and also provides zero pulse dropout signals
for advanced testing. It utilizes programmable clocks for
signal generation, allowing the signal to be generated using
the same basic frequency timing clock as the real-world
radar threat.
TESTER
features four independent signal capability. The signal
generation is controlled by a Pentium-based PC running Escape2000
simulation control software under Windows XP.
As
an option, the system may be supplied with power/frequency
calibration software and instrumentation. Digital and RF
built-in test (BIT) facilities are included as part of the
system. RF BIT does require some optional external instrumentation.
While
designed primarily as a stand-alone system, TESTER can be
the basis for a much larger system. It may be used in conjunction
with another simulation system to provide additional capabilities,
such as pulse Doppler signal generation, using Escape2000
software. The complete system, including the RF source,
is housed within a rack mountable 5.25" (3U) chassis.
