The need to properly represent the ever changing complexities of the RF environment across communications, surveillance, electronic support measures (ESM) and signal intelligence system (SIGINT) with the advances of signal complexity and bandwidth, requires an enormous test and measurement effort.Extensive field tests are often applied to verify the performance and capabilities under preferably natural but controlled conditions. This is both costly and requires a great deal of time.RF signal environment generation using Test & Measurement equipment brings field tests into the laboratory, where a controlled, cost-effective and reproducible environment exists. The R&S®Pulse Sequencer software is a versatile tool to generate arbitrary and realistic RF signal scenarios ensuringsystem readiness for the real operational world.This application note introduces the R&S®Pulse Sequencer software, explains several examples that are applicable for research, development, before operational and during life-time test in detail, and guides you through the necessary steps, to generate a self-defined, arbitrary real life RF signal environment.

Combining the R&S®Pulse Sequencer software with one of the vector signal generators from Rohde & Schwarz is the perfect solution for defining and playing pulses.

Describes the specific functions of the software, including the remote control commands with programming examples.The online version is meant for immediate display (no download required).The application is supported by the following products:R&S®SMW200A, R&S®SMBV100A, R&S®SMBV100B, and R&S®SGT100A.For information on operating the product see the corresponding user manual.

Technical specifications of the R&S®Pulse Sequencer Software options for the R&S®SMW200A, R&S®SMBV100A, R&S®SMBV100B, R&S®SGT100A, R&S®SMU200A, R&S®SMJ100A signal generators from Rohde & Schwarz

The R&S®Pulse Sequencer software offers a powerful mechanism to model sequences that are often required for meaningful radar receiver test cases. The sequences can consist of many individual elements, such as pulses defined by the software or imported waveform segments. The software’s powerful interpulse modulation mechanism gives the user full control of each single element.

The R&S®Pulse Sequencer software offers an interface to import lists of pulse descriptor words (PDW). Users can define their specific PDW format in the software before importing the PDW list. The R&S®Pulse Sequencer software automatically uploads the interpreted PDW lists on the R&S®SMW200A to generate the most agile radar signals.
