    摘要: A method of radar signal processing includes providing an analog front end (AFE) including an amplifier coupled between an antenna and an ADC in a receive path, where an ADC output is coupled to an input of an elastic ADC buffer (elastic buffer) including a divided memory with for writing samples from the ADC (samples) while reading earlier written samples to a first signal processor by a high speed interface. A transmit path includes at least one power amplifier provided by the AFE coupled to drive an antenna. A Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) is determined across all chirps in a radar frame programmed to be used. For each frame a sample size for the elastic buffer is dynamically controlled constant to be equal to the GCD for reading samples from one memory block and writing samples to another memory block throughout all chirps in the frame.

    摘要: A method for the simultaneous multi-frequency signal processing within a single receiver is presented. The pulse compression or filtering method samples the received signal at a data rate commensurate with the maximum frequency separation of waveforms at separate frequencies being received, but the compression calculations are only performed at a rate commensurate with the bandwidth of each individual transmit waveform set. The method reduces the processor requirements for extracting all available information from these signals.

    摘要: A pulsed radar method of sensing or measuring a product material in a storage tank. A plurality of waveform types are automatically selected based on a power limitation. The pulsed radar signal is transmitted by a programmable transmitter to the product material, wherein the pulsed radar signal is reflected or scattered by the product material to provide a radar signal during an interval of time including a target signal. An initial gain or attenuation is automatically set for a programmable receiver. The programmable receiver receives the radar signal including the target signal during the interval of time, and the target signal is signal processed using a lower attenuation setting as compared to the initial gain or attenuation to determine at least one parameter associated with the product material. The transmitted and received radar signal can also be adjusted according to the measured SNR.
