Application Note: GaGe RazorPlus: Revolutionizing Radar Signal Recording for Military Vehicles

Introduction A moving military test vehicle is equipped with a radar system. From a fixed location, a user wants to record radar signals emitted by the vehicle during a motion sequence that lasts about one minute. This application note describes how Vitrek’s Gage RazorPlus CSE 16502 digitizer meets the requirements for this task. System Overview The radar system emits narrowband signals within the X band (8 to 12 GHz). These signals are down-converted to a lower frequency range of 0 to 200 MHz using a down-converter. The down-converter generates two output signals - [...]
