Aeroflex, Inc. 6146 Pulse Modulator 500 MHz To 18 GHz
Data sheet (PDF)
The 6146 Pulse Modulator is ideal for modulating RF and Microwave signals to enable testing
of radar systems. Its wide frequency range of 70 MHz to 20 GHz means it can test both the RF
and IF performance of the radar. Fast rise and fall times coupled with >70 dB ON/OFF ratio ensures that the 6146 can be used to test the majority of modern radars.Modulation is controlled by a TTL input. Any suitable pulse generator can be used to drive the 6146. An integral amplifier gives the 6146 an insertion gain of +5 dB. This enhances the ability to measure the dynamic range of a radar compared with traditional pulse modulators that typically have an insertion loss up to 10 dB. The 6146 is a small lightweight and rugged package. It can be connected directly onto the output of a signal source and has type N connectors. When used
with the 6200B series Microwave Test Set it is powered with the supplied lead which connects directly onto the 6200B auxiliary output. For use with other signal sources an optional AC power
supply is available. The combination of 6146 and a 6800 microwave system analyzer
or 6200B microwave test set fitted with an internal attenuator forms the basis of an excellent solution for testing radar systems. The fundamental radar tests of minimum discernible signal, 1 db compression and subclutter rejection are made simple.Wide frequency coverage 500 MHz to
18 GHz.
