Hardware Interface to Connect an AN/SPS-65 Radar to an SRC-6E Reconfigurable Computer

Abstract

A hardware interface is designed, developed, constructed, and tested to interface a naval radar to the SRC-6E reconfigurable computer. The U.S. Navy AN/SPS-65 radar provides in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) channels along with the AGC voltage to the hardware interface in analog form. The hardware interface receives a sampling clock from the SRC-6E and in turn performs the requisite attenuation and digital conversion before presenting the signals to the SRC-6E through its CHAIN port. The results show that the SRC-6E can effectively generate a sampling clock to drive the analog-to-digital converters and that real-time radar data can be brought into the SRC-6E via its high speed CHAIN port for performing high speed digital signal processing
