Abstract:
A conical scan radar system (10) provides return pulses (30) to an A/D converter (38) from which a shaped pulse train is received and stored in a FIFO memory (40). The stored pulse train is then passed through first and second finite impulse response filters (42,44) for achieving sampling rate reduction prior to rendering via a programmable signal processor (64) of target detection identification and tracking.
