HP 8791 Family of Frequency Agile Signal Simulators (FASS) |
The HP 8791 family of Frequency Agile Signal Simulators (FASS) generate the complex yet realistic test signals needed for today's sophisticated signal simulation and system test. Whether you're simulating advanced EW threats, radar target returns, satellite transponder traffic, or cellular radio's multiple signal environments, FASS combines powerful modulation capability with digitally generated signal precision.
The 40 MHz instantaneous modulation bandwidth can be switched anywhere across the 0.05 to 18 GHz coverage of Model 21 (3 GHz for Model 11) in 100 nanoseconds (typical) to generate spread spectrum formats, radar chirps, video, pseudo-noise, multiple carriers, QAM and FSK.
Comprehensive application software harnesses the power of FASS, giving
the system an easy-to-use, mouse driven front panel. Application
specific Instrument-on-a-Disk (ID) software includes the HP 8791 Model
100 precision signal generator which provides quick access to FASS
modulation and signal capability in the easy-to-use for mat of a
traditional signal generator. The Model 200 radar simulator features
various pulse modulations and antenna scans that simplify radar target
return simulations. Optional upconversion extends FASS coverage to 40
GHz.
