Electronic Warfare

As EW system complexity increases and test scenario’s become more and more demanding there is a growing need to add test equipment that meets the evolving needs of an ever changing market place. Not only new systems, with higher demands are coming on-line, but many systems have multiple modes of operations including:

  • Doppler Radar: requiring excellent close-in phase noise for detecting slow moving targets.
  • Broadband Radar: requiring very narrow pulses, especially for clutter elimination for Maritime Radar applications.
  • Fast Frequency Switching: Switching in 100’s of microseconds, to avoid enemy detection.

Spanawave/Giga-tronics has been a leader in providing signal source technology for over 30 years. With industry leading phase noise performance, narrow pulse generation capability and ultra fast frequency switching the 2500B can meet many of your emerging needs.

The 2500B Series Microwave Signal Generator delivers industry-best offset phase noise performance, narrow pulse and fast frequency switching speeds in a single unit. With frequency ranges to 50 GHz, the 2500B series Microwave Signal Generators are fast, easy-to-use, super clean and loaded with features including high-stability time base, fine resolution, multiple sweep modes and a full suite of analog modulation capabilities
