Floating-Point FPGAs for DSP Bring High Precision to Radar and EW Systems

摘要

Systems used in electronic warfare (EW) and radar applications are essential parts of the strategic environment for threats on the ground, at sea and in the air. Since threats require rapid and shifting tactical responses, the design flexibility provided by programmable logic is essential in military hardware. Modern radar systems process signals in the Gigahertz frequency range. Many modern types of radar are Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) systems that have various modes enabled by digital signal processing, including modes for searching, identification, tracking, targeting and surveillance.
