Build a Real-Time, EW Testbed Using FPGA-based Instruments

Testing and exercising modern electronic warfare (EW) systems has become a significant challenge due to the onslaught of greater bandwidths, increased signal sources, cognitive algorithms, and multifunction RF platforms. These challenges have exceeded the abilities of traditional test strategies and equipment. Learn how a new generation of test equipment is architected to meet these requirements and create scalable and customizable solutions. We will go over the different platform elements and how to optimize the use case for each.

Three Key Learnings:

1. Understand the challenges for current EW test solutions
2. Learn how to modernize test procedures for cognitive and adaptive systems.
3. Learn how to achieve the needed acceleration with dedicated real-time FPGA processing available in the latest instruments
