Post Processor Design Concepts Applicable to an Acousto-Optic Spectrum Analyzer.

Abstract

The Acousto-Optic Spectrum Analyzer (AOSA) can generate data at rates on the order of 10 to the 8th power samples/second. This report describes a practical series-parallel post-processor architecture for performing operations of linear and non-linear filtering, peak detection and thresholding of the data in the time domain and also in the spatial domain (which corresponds to the spectrum of the input signal). Techniques applicable to the generation of data in a Pulse Descriptor WORD (PDW format are discussed. (Canada)
