Examples of E-field Capabilities


These include, but are not limited to:

Development, implementation, assessment and/or recommendation of computer simulation models allowing prediction of:

· Link performance and system coverage for fading, interference limited channels over arbitrary terrain types and surface covers, with or without ducting and other atmospheric effects.

· Interference effects by multiple co-channel emitters in fading environments.

· Channel capacity of systems constrained by transmitter and receiver intermodulation products resulting from the close proximity of system elements.

· Propagation & performance models and terrain database requirements of Automated Spectrum Management and Electronic Warfare Analysis Systems for both analog and digital data.

· Conventional, agile or wideband radar and communications intercept/DF/countermeasures system performance in realistic tactical or strategic environments

· Satellite and airborne synthetic aperture radar performance.

· Relative performance of systems having different operating parameters such as frequency, location and antenna height / directivity.

Technical literature searches and subsequent system performance analyses in terms of parameters such as:

· Delay-spread, spatial correlation and signal fading distributions.

· Rainfall and refractivity data for any part of the world.

· Terrain radio-frequency reflectivity measurements as a function of surface type.

Design, implementation and evaluation of field trial measurement programs to validate system performance models for:

· Transmitter/Sensor coverage

· Interference probabilities

· Intercept range

· Detection probabilities

· Direction-Finding accuracy
