Electronic Surveillance and Countermeasures
Electronic Surveillance and Protection systems require long range, wide frequency surveying capabilities with high signal-to-noise and increased linearity to detect desired signals while mitigating the impact of interfering emitters. Analog Devices supports these technology advances through continuous development of state-of-the-art components, modules and subsystems.
Surveillance receivers utilize ADI’s wideband ADC’s and RF transceivers in addition to low-noise amplifiers and mixer technology to achieve unparalleled levels of sensitivity and detection. ADI’s RF DACs and advanced synthesizers enable sophisticated signal generation in support of advanced countermeasures. Amplifiers using GaN processes offer higher power and efficiency in smaller footprints, even serving as TWT replacements using ADI’s specialized combining techniques.
