Historically high speed radar data collection and processing systems
have cost hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. In recent years
costs have been coming down but systems have still required the use of
very expensive specialty signal processing cards. Syncor has developed a
radar collection system using Borland's C++ Builder 6.0 and
Innovative Integration collection hardware and
Tabor arbitrary waveform cards, that has recurring hardware costs of
approximately $5,000. Using a standard PC running Windows 2000 or
Windows XP and employing some highly optimized software we can : |
 |
Collect real time data at rates up to 8MB/second
|
|
|
Perform extensive processing including 8K FFTs and Polar
Rectangular Conversions |
|
|
Plot in color or gray scale in real time with frame rates up to
32 fps |
|
|
Store data to disk in raw or processed mode. |
|
|
Stream TCP/IP data to another computer or to a separate
application on the same computer. |
|
|
Handle a new 8K sample of floating point data every millisecond |
|
|
Perform Moving Target Indicator analysis using previous frame,
fixed avg. or moving avg. |
|
|
Calibrate and range compensate data |
