Signal Hound Pulse Analysis Tool Kit

Signal Hound Pulse Analysis Tool Kit

Software license for Pulse Analysis functionality in Signal Hound’s Spike.

The Pulse Analysis Tool Kit adds comprehensive pulse and radar signal analysis for both commercial and defense applications. It is fully compatible with Signal Hound’s wideband receivers including the PCR4200 multi-channel receiver, as well as BB60 series, SP145, SM200 series and SM435 series spectrum analyzers. System designers and field users can perform a broad range of pulse and radar measurements needed for radar-system testing, transmitter troubleshooting, transient/spurious analysis, and ELINT use cases.

With enhanced pulse analysis options, Spike’s interface now offers a wide selection of plots and displays including AM/FM/PM vs. Time, Spectrum, Waterfall, Histograms, Pulse Tables, Pulse History, Pulse Compression, and Autocorrelation. The Pulse Analysis license also supports deinterleaving to classify pulses from up to five unique emitters with automatic emitter detection and classification and provides pulse correlation/compression testing to compare measured data against reference waveforms and reveal signals below normal trigger thresholds.

Features:

• • Supports analysis bandwidths up to 160 MHz and frequencies up to 43.5 GHz
    (compatible with BB60 series, SP145, SM200 series, SM435 series, PCR4200)
  • Automatically detect & characterize CW, Linear Chirp, Barker Sequences pulse types
  • Deep pulse memory of more than 50k pulses
  • Display detailed, configurable, pulse performance metrics
  • Available plots include AM/FM/PM vs Time, spectrum, waterfall, histograms and more
  • Deinterleaving functions
  • Pulse correlation & compression testing

Build and validate radar and pulse-based systems with this new fast and reliable Pulse Analysis Tool Kit. Whether it’s in the lab or the field, users can acquire deep pulse insights. Automatic pulse-type detection, long-duration pulse memory, deinterleaving, and correlation testing, it’s all there in a single package.
