Signal and System Level Simulations for Wideband Intercept Receivers: Eliminating Spur Signals

Abstract

This paper presents signal and system level simulation results on some wideband intercept receiver structures. For this purpose, first various wideband receiver structures are compared briefly, and an emitter signal generator is designed using a commercial simulation package. Then, channelized wideband receiver design methodology is discussed and implemented in the simulator. Finally, two design approaches chosen for channelization process are employed, and simulation results are discussed for eliminating spur signals.
