RF Interference and DFS Radar Pulse Generation

The RF Interference and DFS Radar Pulse Generator simplifies RF interference generation of common waveforms in the 802.11 bands, including Bluetooth, Microwave oven and DFS radar pulses. Rather than using cumbersome signal generators and I/Q modulation software, this option makes generation of interference signals in the band of interest a “point and click” solution, and easily automatable.

The RF Interference and DFS Radar Pulse Generator provides a library of signal types combined with an easy to use GUI that allows the user to modify and control the characteristics of the interference being generated.

The RF Interference and DFS Radar Pulse Generator is supported by WBW1101, WBW1104, WBW1104N, and WBW1101P WaveBlades and uses WaveQoE as a control dashboard.

Benefits

  • No I/Q file generation required
