Application of monitoring receivers in the field of electronic countermeasures
Electronic warfare (EW) is an important means of warfare in modern warfare and military operations. It refers to the use of electromagnetic spectrum (such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, etc.) for reconnaissance, interference, protection and attack to gain battlefield advantages or weaken the enemy's combat capabilities. More and more instruments and equipment are used in electronic warfare, such as monitoring receivers, which have important applications in the field of electronic countermeasures. Their main function is to monitor, analyze and process the electromagnetic environment in real time, and provide key intelligence support and technical guarantee for electronic countermeasures. This article introduces the main applications of TFN DC series monitoring receivers in the field of electronic countermeasures
1. Electromagnetic environment monitoring
The DC series portable monitoring receiver has the functions of conventional signal spectrum monitoring, intermediate frequency analysis, panoramic scanning, acquisition playback, discrete scanning, differential spectrum analysis, analog signal demodulation, etc. It can monitor the electromagnetic environment of the battlefield or a specific area in real time, and capture various radio signals by analyzing the characteristics of the signal such as frequency, intensity, modulation mode, etc. These functions are crucial in electronic countermeasures and are specifically used for:
Identifying enemy signal sources: determining the operating frequency bands and characteristics of enemy radars, communication equipment or other electronic equipment.
Electromagnetic spectrum management: mastering the use of battlefield electromagnetic spectrum to avoid interference between own equipment.
-
Situational awareness: providing commanders with a real-time situation map of the battlefield electromagnetic environment.
2. Signal reconnaissance and intelligence acquisition
DC series monitoring receivers can capture and analyze enemy communication signals, radar signals, etc., and extract valuable intelligence information. Specifically, DC series monitoring receivers can intercept enemy communication signals and analyze their content, communication mode and network structure. Capture enemy radar signals, analyze their operating frequency, pulse repetition frequency (PRF), waveform and other parameters, and identify radar types and uses. Accumulate enemy signal characteristics through long-term monitoring, establish a signal feature library, and provide reference for subsequent electronic countermeasure actions.
3. Threat warning
DC series monitoring receivers can quickly detect the appearance of enemy radar or communication signals and provide threat warnings for their own side. When an enemy radar signal is detected, the monitoring receiver can identify its type (such as search radar, fire control radar, etc.) and issue a threat alarm. By monitoring the enemy's guided radar or communication signals, it is determined whether there is a missile threat. Identify enemy electronic interference signals and provide anti-interference strategies for your own equipment.
4. Electronic interference and anti-interference
The DC series monitoring receiver supports interference verification and can accurately find the source of interference. Specifically, by monitoring enemy signals, obtaining parameters such as frequency and modulation mode, and providing accurate interference parameters for electronic interference equipment. And by performing direction finding on the interference signal, the enemy's frequency hopping signal is tracked in real time, and even the dynamic interference source can be easily found.
When the enemy implements electronic interference, the DC series monitoring receiver can help your own equipment identify the interference signal and distinguish between normal signals and interference signals to avoid misjudgment. By monitoring the spectrum distribution of the interference signal, find the frequency band that is not interfered with, adjust the operating frequency of your own communication or radar equipment, and provide input data for the anti-interference algorithm for your own equipment.
5. Testing and evaluation of electronic warfare equipment
The DC series monitoring receivers can also be used for testing and evaluation of electronic warfare equipment, mainly for evaluating the suppression effect of one's own electronic jamming equipment on enemy signals; testing the performance of one's own radar and communication equipment in complex electromagnetic environments; in electronic countermeasures exercises, monitoring receivers are used to record and analyze electromagnetic signals in exercises to provide data support for tactical evaluation.
6. Spectrum management and resource optimization
On the modern battlefield, the electromagnetic spectrum is an important resource, and the DC series monitoring receivers can help optimize the allocation of spectrum resources. It can not only detect spectrum conflicts between one's own equipment or between one's own equipment and enemy equipment, but also dynamically adjust the frequency allocation of one's own equipment according to monitoring data to improve spectrum utilization efficiency.
The application of monitoring receivers in the field of electronic countermeasures runs through multiple links such as reconnaissance, early warning, interference, and anti-interference, and is an indispensable core equipment in electronic warfare. With the continuous development of electronic warfare technology, the performance of monitoring receivers is also constantly improving, such as wider frequency coverage, higher sensitivity, faster signal processing speed, etc., providing more powerful technical support for modern electronic countermeasures.
