AES Microwave Systems technologies have applications in:
Radar, EW, SIGINT, and SATCOM
• FPGA-based DDS Technology
• Waveform Generators
• Synthesizers
• Upconverters and Downconverters
DDS-based waveforms include
• FM (linear and non-linear chirp), AM, PM, QAM, Pulsed RF
• On-board "Waveform Sequencer" allows generation of arbitrary waveforms combining multiple modulation techniques
• High speed FPGA supports waveform changes at intervals (nanoseconds)
• Supports hardware and software triggering providing pre-programmed, low-latency, high speed waveform performance
• Waveform Sequencing Programmability
Maintains performance over multi-octave frequency ranges
• 20 MHz to 20 GHz frequency coverage
• Frequency switching as fast as 200 nsec
