Theory of Operation

The Radar Target Generation (RTG) Software is application software that includes APIs to help you operate certain models of the PXI Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) as a closed-loop real-time radar target generator. The RTG software works with scenarios calculated in real-time, provided from a file, or generated from a linear motion calculation. The software features up to four simultaneous targets for each channel, and each target has three configurable parameters: time delay, frequency offset, and amplitude gain. You can interface the RTG Software through a soft front panel or through APIs that run either locally on the controller or remotely and communicate over Ethernet.
