The Model 5100 encompasses hard-ware, software, test practices and support along with standard andcustomizable test programs tailored to the specific problems of test- ing high performance modules utilized in a variety of phased arrayradars. Such radars depend upon synchronous phase and amplitudecontrol of literally tens to, possibly, thousands of TR modules in a matrix of such modules in parallel to electronically shape transmitand receive beams to light up, detect and monitor radar targets.The Aeroflex SMART^E TM 5000 Test Environment is based uponthe 5th generation evolution of Aeroflex synthetic test technology.Aeroflex synthetic test systems are successfully deployed in a varietyof high performance test applications including satellite payload test, advanced TR module test and military ATE.A Synthetic Test System is comprised of stimulus and measurementchannels which may be exposed to the test system engineer, pro-grammer and test engineer in the form of a functionally integrated but not necessarily physically integrated (as compared to a classicalinstrument) collection of components. For example, a multi-stageupconverter consisting of a digital baseband signal source or a high quality oscillator (or both on a multiplexed basis) with IF up conver- sion and filtering, with tunable RF up conversion and filtering mayprovide the same functionality as a microwave synthesizer. A func-tionally integrated but not necessarily physically integrated set of modules consisting of an RF/microwave downconverter with signalconditioning, IF downconversion, filtering and digitizing with digitalsignal processing software may serve to provide the measurements of a power counter, network analyzer manufacturer or supplier of spectrum analyzer.
