Filed: 2008-08-29
Abstract: The signal received by an antenna 31 of a radar system or the transducer of a sonar system is amplified and then subject to linear demodulation by a linear receiver 406, 407. There may be an anti-aliasing filter 404 and an undersampling analog-to-digital converter 405 between the amplifier 44 and the linear receiver 406, 407. The system may also have a digital signal processor 410 with a network stack running in the processor 410. That processor 410 may also have a network interface media access controller and a physical layer interface 411. Where the system operates at different ranges, the modulator 22 may produce pulses of two pulse patterns differing in pulse duration and inter-pulse spacing. Those two pulse patterns are interleaved and used to form two radar images with the two images being derived from data acquired in a duration not more than twenty times larger than the larger inter-pulse spacing, or for a radar system, larger than one half of the antenna resolution time. One or more look-up tables may be used to control the amplifier 44. The radar system may generate digital output which comprises greater than eight levels of radar video.
