Abstract: The enhanced dynamic range RF pulse measurement system accepts an RF source for spectral analysis. The system includes an RF splitter accepting the RF source under analysis as input. The split output connects to identical precision timing insertion units (TIU) 1 and 2, each time tagging its respective RF signal stream. TIU 1 feeds a first real-time spectrum analyzer (RSA 1) set for strong signals at an exemplary ?3.00 dBm reference level. TIU 2 feeds a second real-time spectrum analyzer (RSA 2) set for weak signals at an exemplary ?15.00 dBm reference level. Outputs of RSA 1 and RSA 2 are then fed to a multi-channel recorder which records the respective time tagged RF signal streams. For each signal stream real-time PDW processing is performed. Output of the recorder feeds a workstation that for any given time tag selects and processes the channel having the highest quality signal.

Abstract: The method and system for modeling RF emissions occurring in a radio frequency band utilizes commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware to perform the steps of converting legacy PDW databases to RF signal I and Q format and storing the I and Q data in a digital I and Q data signal library. Alternatively, real-time RF signals are recorded in I and Q format and routed to the library. Moreover, a synthesizer is provided to form I and Q data and forward the data to the library. I and Q library data is time-tagged. An RF editor includes editing tools to modify the I and Q library accordingly, as required. A channelizer extracts channel information from the I and Q data and sends that channelized data to at least one to vector signal generator. A combiner is used to combine outputs of multiple vector signal generators connected to the channelizer.
