Switched-radar scenario generation with Femtosecond jitter
In the simulation and testing of advanced radar systems, such as phased array, it is often convenient to employ an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). However, jitter in the waveform triggering can lead to inaccuracies in the simulation. In this article, we discuss the behavior of synchronous and asynchronous trigger inputs in terms of the latency and repeatability of triggered waveform events....
