Real-World RF Testing Without Leaving the Lab

ISL’s RFView® HWIL system revolutionizes RF testing by enabling real-time electromagnetic simulation of complex environments. Designed for radar, electronic warfare (EW), and RF system developers, RFView® HWIL allows flight hardware testing under realistic conditions—anywhere in the world, without ever leaving the lab. 

Key Features

  • Digital RF Memory (DRFM) Simulation

Overcomes traditional limitations with ISL’s patented convolution approach—merging radar signals with terrain and target models.

  • High-Fidelity Signal Processing

– ADCs: 12–16 bits resolution at 3–8 GS/s

– FPGA-based convolution with RCS and Doppler shift adjustments

– DAC and upconversion for RF spectrum placement

  • Wide Frequency Coverage

Supports 2–21 GHz across S, C, X, Ku, and K bands. Higher frequencies available upon request.

  • COTS Integration

Compatible with NI PXI, Xilinx, and other platforms for flexible deployment.

Applications

  • Radar System Development & Testing
  • Electronic Warfare Simulation
  • Mission Planning & Operator Training
  • AI Model Development with Synthetic RF Data

Benefits

  • Cost-Effective: No need for field testing or flight trials
  • Scalable: Simulate thousands of targets and terrain features
  • Accurate: Physics-based modeling ensures realism
  • Adaptable: Customizable for specific mission scenarios
