Analog Devices to Showcase Digital Twin Radar Evaluation Method at IMS 2026

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Analog Devices (ADI) will demonstrate a radar system performance evaluation method using digital twin technology at IMS 2026 in Boston. The demonstration, titled "Beyond the Datasheet: Digital Twins Deliver System-Level RF Insights," aims to help engineers evaluate radar performance at the system level before hardware deployment.

Complete RF system design solutions typically rely on product datasheets, isolated small-signal simulations, and multiple rounds of laboratory prototyping, a process that is slow and requires manual iteration. As RF architectures grow increasingly complex and mission demands continue to rise, gaining system-level visibility into actual performance becomes more critical for engineers.

This demonstration focuses on the digital twin approach, dedicated to evaluating system-level behavior in specific application and use-case scenarios. ADI's digital twin models are virtual representations of RF components and integrated circuits developed in the MATLAB and Simulink environment.

This method enables full system performance evaluation early in the design flow, allowing engineers to explore architectures, trade-offs, identify risks, and make design decisions before committing to hardware. At the same time, the digital twin workflow establishes a data thread connecting requirements, design decisions, measurements, and results, supporting design and verification activities and improving communication between component manufacturers and system integrators.

As part of the demonstration, Leonardo UK will present a radar application model for simulating detection probability performance, illustrating how digital twins can be used for mission-level evaluation by translating component-level behavior into system outcomes.

Throughout the three-day event, simulation videos will be continuously displayed, and engineers from ADI, MathWorks, and Leonardo will be on-site to discuss model construction techniques, model fidelity, simulation capabilities, and application-specific considerations. A live demonstration session will also be held each day during the event.
