Handheld analysers cut cost of radar testing
Agilent Technologies says that its FieldFox handheld combination analysers offer an easier, more cost-effective solution than benchtop instruments, with the accuracy and functionality required for performing precision radar system performance validation, including maintenance and repair in the field. FieldFox analyser have been developed to reduce cost-of-test while increasing the uptime of mission-critical systems—critical capabilities for modern radar systems.
Such systems are typically classified as ground-based, airborne, ship-based or space-borne and have numerous applications, including civilian air-traffic control, meteorology, traffic enforcement and military.
The FieldFox combination analyser solution for radar system performance validation includes an all-in-one combination analyser that functions as a basic cable and antenna analyzer with spectrum and vector network analysis capabilities and a built-in power meter and vector voltmeter.
It can undertake LRU-level measurements, including a full pulse analysis capability to 40GHz using the U2022XA Peak Power Sensor, and relative timing measurement of transmitter main to auxiliary pulses. It also offers support for stable local oscillator phase alignment via vector voltmeter mode. The analyser is complaint with IEC/EN 60529 IP53 requirements for protection from dust and water and U.S. MIL-PRF-28800F Class 2 requirements.
The analysers can operate in harsh conditions and hard-to-reach locations, allowing radar maintainers to use them for all their radar ground station installation and maintenance measurement needs
