Notice Information

Notice Title

UKRI-3968 Fast AWG ( Arbitrary Waveform Generator)

Notice Description

The Chilbolton observatory operates is developing a wide band radar to operate between 8GHz and 12GHz. The plan is to use a linear FM chirp which may need to be modified to include notches in the frequency range or corrections for artifacts caused by the transmitter such as amplitude variations or group delay variation. Thus we are seeking a fast Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) capable of directly generating signals in the range 8GHz to 12GHz at the output.
