What is radar signal processing?
The signal processor is that part of the system which separates targets from clutter on the basis of Doppler content and amplitude characteristics. In modern radar sets the conversion of radar signals to digital form is typically accomplished after IF amplification and phase sensitive detection.
How is DSP used in radar?
At the transmitter end, it generates and shapes the transmission pulses, controls the antenna beam pattern while at the receiver, DSP performs many complex tasks, including STAP (space time adaptive processing) - the removal of clutter, and beamforming (electronic guidance of direction).
What is PRI and PRF?
PRI is the time interval between two adjacent pulses. PRF is the rate that pulses repeat per second and is equal to the inverse of PRI.
