XY-ACTIVE-ECHO
Modern radar system testing demands high-precision target simulation without the logistical burden of deploying large physical structures. Conventional passive reflectors often lack the flexibility required for dynamic calibration and electronic warfare training. XY-ActiveEcho solves this challenge by delivering an advanced active radar reflector that receives, amplifies, and retransmits signals, effectively emulating targets with a significantly larger Radar Cross Section (RCS) than the device's physical footprint.
Engineered for versatility, XY-ActiveEcho serves as a cornerstone for radar developers, training units, and R&D facilities. Leveraging sophisticated Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) technology, the system delivers a portable, battery-powered solution suitable for both ground installations and aerial platforms such as UAVs (drones). Its key capability lies in simulating complex environments, including Doppler modulation and hypersonic targets within a rugged, lightweight enclosure.
Key Features
- Multi-Band Versatility: Operates across VHF to X bands, with customizable options extending coverage from 0.01 GHz to 18 GHz (expandable up to W band).
- Advanced DRFM Architecture: High-precision retransmission of modified received signals for realistic target emulation.
- Doppler Modulation: Built-in capability to simulate moving targets and complex velocity profiles.
- Dynamic Simulation: Emulation of diverse target profiles, including multiple targets, low-RCS objects, and hypersonic threats.
- Electronic Warfare Readiness: Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) functions for predefined jamming signals and intelligent/cognitive jamming techniques.
Operational Mobility: Lightweight design (3.35 kg) and a high-capacity battery (5600 mAh) supporting extended field missions.
