How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The paper introduces RAD-DAR, a radar demonstrator system designed for quick deployment and efficient detection of small drones. Utilizing an 8- channel digital array and sophisticated signal processing techniques, the system captures and analyzes radar echoes to identify and track drones accurately.
How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The research utilized a GaGe Razor Express 1604 digitizer, offering high-resolution data acquisition at a rapid sampling rate of 200MS/s. This digitizer facilitated the simultaneous recording of lightning events and high-energy radiation bursts, enabling detailed analysis.
How the GaGe Digitizer was used: A VHF broadband interferometer (INTF) was developed, comprising three antennas and a GaGe Razor Express 1604 digitizer. This setup facilitated the precise mapping of lightning discharges with high temporal resolution.
How the GaGe Digitizer was used: During Trial Petawawa 09-2, GAJET underwent comprehensive testing using up to three deployable jamming units (DJUs) transmitting jamming signals at the L1 GPS frequency. The GaGe digitizer played a crucial role in capturing and processing the received signals from the antenna array, enabling the implementation of digital beamforming algorithms to nullify the jamming signals.
How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The paper introduces innovative approaches, such as the use of inductance-capacitance (LC) resonance method to improve sensor sensitivity. Additionally, it presents the design and implementation of an integrated oil condition sensor for simultaneous detection of wear debris and other lubricant properties.
A military customer relied on a legacy 1980s avionics test system to certify Line replaceable Units (LRUs) for a jet platform. A critical instrument—a 2-channel, 8-bit,
200 MS/s box digitizer—was obsolete, required frequent calibration, and communicated via GPIB with outdated software. Replacing it was difficult because the new unit had to behave identically to the original to preserve system compatibility.
A military customer conducts explosion testing at a proving ground, where ordnances are detonated in a controlled environment surrounded by a network of sensors. Data collected during the detonation are used to characterize the explosion, with particular focus on parameters such as explosion intensity, symmetry, and the velocity of the blast front. The two primary […]
Coherent Radar Measurements Using a Gage Sabre Digitizer A customer is conducting coherent radar measurements, including Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and is focused on monitoring narrowband radar signals in the X-Band (8 to 12 GHz). To acquire these radar signals, the customer uses an RF down-converter to mix the X-band signals to lower frequencies. The […]
