From the beginning, 3GPP’s 5G New Radio standard addresses a triangle of applications, namely enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communication (mMTC), and ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC). The requirements for the later, driven initially by the two market verticals of industrial internet of things (IIoT) and automotive, will be beneficial for the use case of 5G for mission-critical communication. In th...

Radar systems are able to detect, track, and measure minuscule targets at stupendous ranges. One of the techniques exploited to achieve this is the combination of multiple returns from a single target in a manner similar to that used when sampling signals. But as seen in a previous webinar, sampling is linked to ambiguities - cases where the true properties of a signal cannot be unambiguously determined - and the same is true of radar systems....

This webinar addresses introductory digital signal processing theory, methods, techniques and algorithms for EW. Directed primarily to ELINT/EW engineers and scientists responsible for ELINT digital signal processing system software and hardware design, installation, operation and evaluation, it is also appropriate for those having management or technical responsibility. What you will learn: Digital Signal Processing Techniques Application of...

This 24 hour web based course delivers a thorough overview promoting an understanding and building a successful Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (C4ISR) architecture. Through technological innovation, modern warfare is conducted at longer ranges and with greate...

he DOD and the defense electronics industry have been developing the Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ (SOSA) technical standard for the past several years. This panel will discuss the next chapter for SOSA: the introduction of SOSA 1.0; how program offices will apply the SOSA standard to radar, EW and SIGINT programs; and most importantly, how SOSA will impact the warfighter.

Core technology advancements that support artificial intelligence, machine learning & cognition are enhancing the capability and flexibility of EW operational equipment. These capability advancements have also challenged test equipment and architectures, requiring higher fidelity, realism, flexibility, and speed of testing. It is the goal of this webinar to discuss various technology advancements to maintain pace with simulation and valida...

From the beginning, 3GPPs vision of ubiquitous communication included the usage of satellite or airborne based network components. Early trials and implementations never took off successfully due to commercial reasons. In the short history we saw beside tremendous development in the satellite and aerospace community also a worldwide wireless communication requirements. Now it is the time to make those ideas real. Satellites from GEO tot LEO or...

Infrared (IR)-guided (heat-seeking) missiles have been and continue to be extremely widely used in everything from large surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) to tiny shoulder-launched missiles. While many of the reasons for this popularity arise as a result of the underlying physics, the (relative) simplicity and resulting (relatively) low cost of such weapons have contributed significantly to this popularity. Historically, the electro-mechanical re...

EW equipment for the new threats needs to meet much better performance than previous systems. Frequency synthesizers are critical elements in receivers, transmitters, jammers, real-time spectrum measurement, digital RF memory loops, and more. Switching speed, phase noise, and signal purity determine the performance and response time of Electronic Attack and Electronic Protection (EP) systems. In addition, advanced real-time modulation over wid...
