Overview
Multifunction radar system design spans a range of tasks starting with requirements analysis. Once requirements are understood, the process moves to design and implementation, integration and testing, and eventually to field data analysis. In this webinar, we will show how you can integrate these tasks using modeling and simulation tools.
Through a series of examples that include airborne, ground-based, shipborne, and automotive radar systems, we will start with the requirements analysis work and translate the results into designs that can be simulated with probabilistic models and I/Q signal level models. We will show how these modeling options help you pick the right level of fidelity for the project phase you are working on. You will learn how synthesized radar data can be used to improve your design choices, how design models can be shared across organizations, and how testing data can be used to shorten integration cycles.
Highlights
You will learn how to:
- Perform link budget analysis and evaluate design trade-offs interactively with the Radar Designer app
- Connect your radar workflows including requirements and architecture analysis, system design, and verification
- Simulate radars using statistical models and signal-level models
- Model closed-loop, multifunction radars
- Deploy radar signal processing algorithms to processors and FPGAs
