MULTI-EMITTER GENERATION (MEG) SOFTWARE
Multi-Emitter Generation (MEG) Software enables users to create dense, realistic RF environments in the lab with deterministic timing and wideband I/Q synthesis to validate communications, sensing and EMSO systems. With a frequency range from 30 MHz to 26.5 GHz and 2 GHz signal IBW, engineers can inject up to eight independent emitters with configurable parameters such as time of arrival, initial phase, frequency, amplitude and modulation on pulse. In its default personality, the VST is a calibrated RF generator and analyzer.
