High Precision Portable Signal Generators and Calibrators: Everything You Need to Know
High precision portable signal generators are portable electronic devices that generate highly precise signals for testing, system calibration, sensor simulation, troubleshooting, and monitoring. Unlike the benchtop signal generators that are used in laboratories, these hand-held portable devices are designed to be used in the field. The best high precision portable signal generators are also rugged and NIST traceable, meaning that their manufacturer calibrates them to standards from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In terms of cost, high precision portable signal generators are more expensive than less precise, lower-end devices that can be held in the hand; [...]

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 - [...]
