White Paper Overview
Part 1: An Introduction to Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) Environmental Generation Engineering
This paper outlines the fundamental engineering principles behind creating realistic electromagnetic environments for EMSO and electronic warfare (EW) testing. It explains why high-fidelity simulation is critical as a secure and cost-efficient alternative to open-air range testing, clarifies the concept of “truth” in simulation versus measurement, and provides insights into scenario design using PDW and I/Q data. It also compares direct injection and over-the-air testing setups, highlighting how to manage multiple simultaneous emitters for realistic real-time evaluation.
