Optional Upgrades
▪▪ RF front-end: Although the base PhantomRF system has a fixed
IF, Dynetics offers a standard 2 to 18 GHz RF downconversion/
upconversion unit, or can design to meet customer RF
requirements.

▪▪ Pulse detection/pulse repetition interval (PRI) tracking:


PhantomRF has an option to detect pulses, encode pulse
parameters into pulse descriptor words (PDWs), and deinterleave
multiple emitters to detect and track PRIs. This functionality is
useful for emitter waveform verification in test and evaluation
applications and is a key enabler for advanced EA techniques
against agile threats.

▪▪ High-speed recording: Dynetics can optionally supply a high- Independent range-Doppler DRFM scatterers facilitate modeling
