Processing Architecture

Most radar systems based on the structure that contains many DSP chips. The system structure is always complex, and it is difficult to update. Nowadays, multi-core processor develops very fast. Compared with DSP chips, multi-core processor has better performance in signal processing field. In this paper, we present a signal processing architecture which based on multi-core processor. Pulse compression algorithms and PCI-E bus are discussed as two important technologies. Adaptive beamforming test results show that multi-core processor is able to achieve radar signal processing.

This paper presents the analysis and experimental evaluation of a modified dual-loop phase-locked loop synthesizer, using the phase noise transfer functions resulting from the linear model of the synthesizer. The different arrangement in the high-frequency loop, in contrast to previous reported series-connected dual-loop topologies, offers various advantages, such as improved phase noise, finer resolution, and lower spurious levels. Discrete elements are used to implement a prototype system for testing. This adds to the flexibility of the design and allows for experimental optimization of the loop trade-offs. The synthesizer generates signals in the 4850 MHz to 5050 MHz range with a 10 MHz resolution and can match the specifications for wireless LANs operating at 5 GHz. The design resulted in a prototype with very good characteristics suitable for future integration.

Abstract. During the increasing dissemination of renewable energy sources the potential and actual interference effects of wind turbine plants became obvious. Turbines reflect the signals of weather radar and other radar systems. In addition to the static radar echoes, in particular the Doppler echoes are to be mentioned as an undesirable impairment Keränen (2014). As a result, building permit is refused for numerous new wind turbines, as the potential interference can not be reliably predicted. As a contribution to the improvement of this predictability, measurements are planned which aim at the high-frequency characterisation of wind energy installations. In this paper, a cost-effective FMCW radar is presented, which is operated in the same frequency band (C-band) as the weather radars of the German weather service. Here, the focus is on the description of the hardware design including the considerations used for its dimensioning.
