Signal Processing for Unattended Radar.

Abstract

This final report documents the results of a six-month study conducted during Phase I of a contract to examine Signal Processing for Unattended Radars. Based on a general set of system and processor requirements for a representative unattended radar, various signal processing operations, architectures, and technologies are evaluated. A recommended signal processor is identified, and the selection rationale is presented. The principle selection criteria are those of reliability, performance, cost, maintainability, risk and power consumption. The major risk areas in the selected processor have been identified and a validation plan proposed for Phase II of the SPUR effort. This plan consists of recommended approaches, including a formal test plan, for reducing these risks. (Author)
