Waveform generation and signal processing for a multifunction radar system

Abstract: A multifunction, single platform RF sensor capable of performing target acquisition and tracking, combat identification, high data rate communications, and active protection is of interest to the U.S. Amy. The sensor ultimately must be affordable and the size minimized to meet the demands of a rapidly deployable force. To address these needs, the Army Research Laboratory has built and tested a multifunction radar test bed capable of performing multiple tasks simultaneously at K,-band. The system has integrated… Show more

“…Historically, dedicated Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) integrated circuits (ICs) have been used to generate analog waveforms, while field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) provided timing and control signals [1]. As technology advanced, it became practical for the DDS function and additional modulations to be performed directly in the FPGA.…”

“…However, most commercial millimeter radar works in the single mode, which can not meet the needs in Intelligent Transportation Systems. Thus the dual-mode or multi-mode radar will play an important role [6][7][8][9][10][11], especially in accurate traffic information collection.…”
