Design of PowerPC-based Radar Universal Signal Processing Unit

摘要

With the rapid development of radar system, it has put forward higher requirements in the ability of real-time signal processing, the capability of data processing and the versatility of signal processing platforms. The signal processing unit based on PowerPC processor MPC8640D can complete the calculation of complex data using the superior performance of the processor. The combination of embedded operating system VxWorks can meet the real-time requirement of the radar signal processing perfectly. Universal IO interface definition of PowerPC processors make the designed signal processing unit own excellent versatility. The use of multi-beam digital synthesis technique and the vector library in software development improves the signal processing further more.
