متن کاملAn FPGA-Based Array Processor for an Ionospheric-Imaging Radar
Atmospheric scientists need to observe fluctuations in the ionosphere, both to probe the underlying atmospheric physics, and to remove the effects of these fluctuations from other measurements. We have built an FPGA-based, pipelined array processor that allows us to make these observations in real-time, using passive radar techniques. Our array processor time-multiplexes 16 multiply–accumulator...
متن کاملA Framework for Real-Time High-Throughput Signal and Image Processing Systems on Workstations
Real-time data-intensive systems such as sonar beamformers and synthetic aperture radar processors have traditionally required implementation in expensive custom hardware. Current systems use off-the-shelf programmable processors in customized configurations to reduce development cost. To reduce development cost and time further, we consider the use of workstations as the target architecture an...
