Systolic Emulator Experimentation
Abstract
Adaptive spatial filtering or adaptive antenna nulling techniques have been used to remove or eliminate directional electromagnetic interferences or unwanted signals from getting into radio receivers. This signal processing technique has been studied for many years. Many systems have been proposed, some have built and a few have been fielded. High speed parallel processors are beginning to show promise in providing real-time solutions for meeting the processing requirements needed for space applications. One type of high speed parallel processor architecture is called systolic. The name arises from the way the data pulses through the cell-like structure of the processor in a prescribed pipelined manner. Effective implementation of adaptive signal processing techniques using systolic array processors, especially, required careful matching between the algorithm to be performed and the processor architecture. This process of matching algorithm and architecture can be facilitated by computer emulation. (rh)
