چکیده
Software infrastructure is a growing part of modern radio science systems. As part of developing a generic infrastructure for implementing Software Radar systems, we have developed a set of reusable signal processing components. These components are generic software based implementations for use on general purpose computing systems. The components allow for the implementation of signal processing chains for radio frequency signal reception, correlation based data processing, and cross-correlation based interferometry. The components have been used to implement the signal processing necessary for incoherent scatter radar signal reception and processing as part of the latest version of the Millstone Hill Data Acquisition System (MIDAS-W). Several hardware realizations with varying capabilities have been created, and these have been used successfully with different radars. We discuss the signal processing components in detail, describe the software patterns in which they are used, and show example data from the Millstone Hill, EISCAT Svalbard, and SOUSY Svalbard radars.

In this paper, the algorithms for adaptive rejection of a radar clutter are synthesized for the case of a priori unknown spectral-correlation characteristics at wobbulation of a repetition period of the radar signal. The synthesis of algorithms for the non-recursive adaptive rejection filter (ARF) of a given order is reduced to determination of the vector of weighting coefficients, which realiz...
متن کاملPerformance Improvement of Radar Target Detection by Wavelet-based Denoising Methods
With progress in radar systems, a number of methods have been developed for signal processing and detection in radars. A number of modern radar signal processing methods use time-frequency transforms, especially the wavelet transform (WT) which is a well-known linear transform. The interference canceling is one of the most important applications of the wavelet transform. In Ad-hoc detection met...
