At Wide Swath Research, we design and deliver advanced digital backends and test equipment to power and validate modern radar systems. Our products combine the flexibility of FPGA-based platforms with the reliability of production-ready hardware and software. Whether you need a turnkey software-defined radar or powerful lab equipment for system validation, WSR products provide the foundation.
Astra Software Defined Radars
Our flagship product line, Astra Software Defined Radars (SDRs), are engineered for demanding radar applications across terrestrial, airborne, and space platforms. Compact, ruggedized and powerful, Astra SDRs combine:
- Multi-channel, high-bandwidth data acquisition and waveform generation
- FPGA-based and optionally GPU-enhanced onboard processing
- Frequency coverage from DC through X-band and beyond
- Optional Ad Astra™ Operating System, a software framework that simplifies and accelerates radar development with a “done-for-you” environment
Astra SDRs are available in multiple configurations, from compact modules to rackmount systems, and can be customized to support your unique requirements.

Radar Testbed / Environment Simulator
The WSR Radar System Analyzer is a flexible platform for validating radar concepts, algorithms, and instruments before field deployment. Designed as a digital radar environment simulator, the testbed allows:
- End-to-end verification of radar signal chains
- Scene playback and extended capture
- Pulse-by-pulse control of waveform properties
- Digital delay line testing for algorithm development
With its dynamic configuration capabilities, the WSR Radar System Analyzer accelerates research and development, reduces risk, and provides unmatched visibility into system performance.
