Using
Spectrum Analyzers For Pulsed Signal Analysis In Radar Systems
By Kay-Uwe Sander. Rohde
& Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG
The pulsed signals employed by modern radar systems fall into the range of
capabilities provided by modern spectrum analyzers, since they can make a
large number of power measurements. This article illustrates the unique
characteristics of pulsed signals, without which a radar system's performance
cannot be fully optimized.
A New Solution For Signals Intelligence
By James Pierson, Summitek
Instruments, and Joseph Kovacs, National Instruments
Spectrum monitoring and signals intelligence (SIGINT) have been critical components of security and intelligence operations. Typically, personnel working in the SIGINT area have required bulky and relatively expensive equipment, limiting their ability to perform critical tasks in the field. National Instruments and Summitek Instruments partnered to develop a platform that offers spectrum-monitoring and signal-demodulation capabilities in a compact, portable form. This article describes how, by combining efforts, the companies have produced a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution for spectrum monitoring and demodulation of off-air signals requiring little software/hardware
development.
Patch Antenna Miniaturization Through Electromagnetic Genetic Algorithm Optimization
By Naftali
Herscovici, Tony Donisi, Daniel de Araujo, and David Vye, Ansoft Corporation
Genetic algorithm optimization is well suited to working with existing electromagnetic simulation technologies, often yielding results that achieve the performance targets with a unique structure that is non-intuitive to the antenna designer. In this article, a genetic algorithm script
is utilized in conjunction with a planar electromagnetic simulator to perform novel pattern synthesis of a patch
antenna.
RF Radiation Hazard And Antenna Placement Analysis On Electrically Large Military Platforms
By Brian Woods, EM Software & Systems
This article explains the difficulties posed by RF radiation hazard assessment and antenna placement analysis on electrically large platforms. It also explores the concepts on which numerical electromagnetic analysis techniques are based, as well as some of the specific techniques and methods most applicable to antenna placement and RF radiation hazard
analysis.

Confronting The Antenna Challenges In Today's Military Applications
By
Emerson & Cuming Microwave Products
Emerging transceiver technologies and military applications have created challenges, such as directionality, frequency variations, isolation, and testing, for antenna engineers. Solutions exist to address these challenges, but many are reticent to employ them. This article discusses antenna design challenges and suggests the use of absorbers and dielectric materials as a quick, cost-effective
solution.
