Radar test solutions trusted for mission-critical performance

Next-generation radar demands advanced test solutions, from precise RF power measurements to low phase noise signal generation to wideband solid-state signal amplification, all of which ensure uncompromising performance analysis.

Maury solutions are trusted by those who build and test civilian and mission-critical radar systems—where reliability isn’t an option, it’s required.

Maury solutions support:

  • Precision RF power measurements for a thorough assessment of radar pulse characteristics. 
  • Low phase noise, highly pure signals used to optimize local oscillator performance.
  • High-power, wideband amplification to maintain the integrity of radar test results.

With Maury, next-generation radar systems transition seamlessly from the lab to the field, engineered for success.

Accurate RF power measurements

Power measurements are critical to ensuring optimal operation throughout the design, installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of civilian and military radar. Our RF power measurement solutions are designed to analyze the most demanding radar waveforms, offering best-in-class performance with fast rise times to track complex, narrowly spaced pulses and fine time resolution to capture pulse shapes, interpulse timing, and waveform anomalies. A fast sample rate combined with parallel measurement processing ensures the fidelity of radar signals with real-time, gap-free analysis.

Maury provides the power measurement tools that ensure flawless radar performance for every pulse and every lifecycle phase.

Low phase noise signal generation

Local oscillators (LOs) are crucial radar components, responsible for signal translation in up and down conversion chains. They must deliver a highly spectrally pure and stable output to shift frequencies accurately. Our signal generators are ideal LO substitutes to evaluate LO-induced errors, offering low phase noise and frequency switching speed needed to test today’s frequency-agile radar systems.

Wide-band solid-state power amplifiers

High-power RF amplification drives signals to required strengths to ensure the integrity of testing critical radar system components. With high linearity, stable power, and broad frequency coverage, Maury amplifiers ensure reliable and repeatable results.
