CIELO Mockingbird Software: Radar Waveform Toolbox
Mockingbird Software Defined RF Test System
Mockingbird RF Test System is a rugged, software defined RF test system, providing emulated RF scenes, arbitrary RF waveform generation, spectral analysis, and signal capture enabling rapid indoor lab and outdoor field testing with the simplicity and efficiency of a software simulation.
Mockingbird RF Waveform Toolbox
The Mockingbird Radar Waveform Toolbox is an optional software toolbox that extends the built-in capabilities of the Mockingbird RF Test System. The Radar Waveform Toolbox provides the ability to emulate various radar waveforms. Pulsed waveforms include tone, stepped frequency, chirp or LFM (linear frequency modulation), and PSK (phase shift keyed). For all pulsed waveforms, the user can set the Pulse Duration (PD) and Pulse Repetition Interval (PRI). Traffic patterns can be added to specify the ON time and OFF time to transmit a group of pulses at a time.
| Waveform | Description |
|---|---|
| Pulsed Tone | Transmits a fixed tone each pulse duration. |
| Pulsed Stepped Frequency | Transmits a tone each pulse duration that steps through the configured frequency list. |
| Pulsed LFM | Transmits a chirp or linear swept frequency signal transmitted pulse duration. User specifies the chirp bandwidth or sweep range |
| Pulsed PSK | Transmits a PSK modulated code word each pulse duration. Several options for code words, as well as user defined. |
