A Programmable Signal Processor for the Experimental Array Radar. Volume I.

Abstract

A detailed description of the programmable signal processor developed for use in the US Army Missile Command experimental array radar is presented in this report. The programmable signal processor has quadrature channel, moving target indicators followed by post detection integration. The moving target indicators can be programmed to have any desired frequency response and can be adapted as a function of antenna beam position, range bin sector, or time. The processor also contains a high speed buffer which provides the capability to record, in real-time, unprocessed raw video as well as corresponding processed moving target indicators and integrator outputs. Functional characteristics, hardware descriptions, and details of the programmable signal processor timing and control are provided in this volume. Volume 2 contains operator instructions and logic diagrams. (Author)
