The Simulator’s Interferer Configuration is a User defined interface for setting the interferer 1 and interferer 2 parameters as shown in Figure: Interferer Configuration.
Interferer Configuration
Latitude and Longitude
The Interferer’s Latitude and Longitude boxes are overwritten each time you click an emitter on the map. These are the coordinates of the currently selected emitter and are transmitted to each simulator. You can edit the coordinates and click Send Setup to locate the interferer somewhere different than at a location in the emitter list.
Frequency (MHz)
User defined Interferer signal frequency.
Bandwidth (kHz)
User defined Interferer bandwidth.
Amplitude
Click the Amplitude Modulation check box to add extra noise to the interferer power level with each sweep, simulating a signal that is amplitude modulated.
Noise
Type or select a noise level. The noise selection is used to inject noise into return data for both sweep traces and IQ data. At a value of 0, very small noise is injected. This is so that each return trace is not identical. Setting it all the way up to 3 will add so much noise that IQ cannot be used to do TDOA. Please note: With IQ data, the noise also increases with distance. So as an emitter moves further from the simulated probes, the IQ data (and TDOA results) will get noisier until the signal is dropped and TDOA stops.
