FPGAs
Make a Radar Signal Processor on a Chip a Reality (PDF, 66Kb) This
paper describes how we perform over 10 billion multiplications per second
in one FPGA. The secret is distributed arithmetic, and this paper
tells you how it is done. It also addresses digital demodulation and
matched filtering in FPGAs.
Design and
Demonstration of an Advanced On-Board Processor for the Second-Generation
Precipitation Radar (PDF, 4126Kb) This paper discusses the application
of the radar processor described in the paper "FPGAs make a radar
signal processor on a chip a reality". Lots of colorful
graphics, hence the large size. |

Ground Penetrating Radar
Radar is an acronym coined in the 1934 for RAdio Detection And Ranging.
The first ground penetrating radar survey was performed in Austria in 1929
to sound the depth of a glacier (Stern, 1929, 1930). The technology was
largely forgotten (despite more than 36 patents filed between 1936 and
1971 that might loosely be called subsurface radar) until the late 1950's
when U.S. Air Force radars were seeing through ice as planes tried to land
in Greenland, but misread the altitude and crashed into the ice. This
started investigations into the ability of radar to see into the
subsurface not only for ice sounding but also mapping subsoil properties
and the water table... |

Building Your Own
Amateur Radar Some years ago, amateur radio hobbyists wouldn't have
dreamed of building or owning their own radar system because of the
incredibly high costs of microwave components. Thanks in part to the
explosions in cellular phone usage, consumer GPS and satellite TV,
microwave components covering up to Ku band are now readily available at
low cost. In addition, amateur radar types have all the military and
commercial radar surplus to draw upon, and many other nontraditional
resources as well. |

Radar
Meteorology: online remote sensing guide Radars have an important role
in the field of meteorology. These devices send out and receive signals
providing valuable information about the location and intensity of
precipitation. Advanced Doppler radar technology goes beyond simple
detection to providing high resolution reflectivity and estimated velocity
data, which is vital to short term forecasting and severe weather
prediction. The purpose of this module is to introduce the basics of radar
meteorology, features of WSR-88D and MDR radar imagery, and how to
interpret Doppler velocity patterns. |
