Multichannel Receiver Characterization for Adaptive Array Applications Phase 5: Experiments/DSP Software

Abstract

This report presents the results of the fifth and final task of the effort. The task had two objectives. The first objective was to determine the capability and limitations of an S-band system to provide a useful foliage penetration (FOPEN) capability. This objective required measurements of foliage attenuation as a function of foliage depth and measurements of the effective radar cross section (RCS) of screened moving vehicles. The second objective was to develop a near real-time signal processing capability using a new VXI-based digital signal processing (DSP) module. This high speed processing would be used in performing statistically significant RCS and attenuation measurements as well as demonstrating the capabilities of a bistatic adjunct receiver in a real-time environment.
