Phase Noise Test Requirements
- Elevated phase noise reduces Doppler radar system target detection.
- Reference paper published at the Military Sensing Symposium Tri-Services Radar, July 2014 detailed the impact of phase noise on target detection: “Modeling the Effect of Phase Noise on Pulse Doppler Radar Target Detection”.
- Modeled results confirm that even small increases in phase noise have significant impact on target detection.
- ATTI is in development of a diagnostic tool based on the video technique that:
- Acquires test point data coincident with performance testing
- Uses an automated signal capture and bounds check to validate diagnostic waveform criteria
- Utilizes fault signatures for the isolation of failed components
- Continuously improves the diagnostic callouts based on actual test and effective repair experience
