Innovative Strategies for Tactical RF Resilience
In a contested spectrum, tactical RF resilience is no longer a “nice-to-have” attribute you add in the final design review; it’s the difference between a network that degrades gracefully and one that collapses at first contact. From small UAS links to SATCOM backhaul and GNSS-derived timing, modern tactical communications are being stressed by deliberate jamming, […]
Measuring Blocking and Desense in Tactical SDRs
Abstract: Tactical radios are increasingly wideband, multi-channel and co-sited with other emitters, making SDR desense and blocking a day-to-day reality rather than an edge case. This post sets out practical, repeatable lab methods to measure desensitisation and blocking in VHF/UHF SDRs, explains the dominant mechanisms (ADC overload, reciprocal mixing, front-end compression), and highlights mitigation options—from […]
Measuring blocking and desense in tactical SDRs
On a crowded battlefield, the radio that fails is rarely “broken” — it’s often being degraded. SDR desense is the quiet killer in tactical VHF/UHF: a nearby transmitter, a co-sited datalink, a vehicle inverter, or even another friendly net raises the effective noise floor until weak signals simply disappear. If you’re an EW test engineer, […]
Designing Resilient Tactical RF Systems for Harsh Environments
In today’s rapidly evolving defence landscape, the importance of tactical RF resilience cannot be overstated. As operations become increasingly complex, military forces are seeking advanced radio frequency (RF) communications systems that guarantee reliability and security in even the harshest environments. This blog explores how to design RF systems that are not only robust but also […]
Anti-Jamming Techniques for Tactical RF Communications
Tactical RF communications are a lifeline for military and defence operations, ensuring real-time data exchange and seamless connectivity even in hostile environments. One of the most pressing challenges in this domain is jamming — an intentional disruption of communication signals that can jeopardise mission success. To counteract these threats, RF engineers need to implement effective […]
