The use of digital RF memories in radar signal processing
Abstract
This paper describes the use that may be made of Digital RF Memories in developing and evaluating new radar systems. It outlines the basic DRFM technology showing how a DRFM works and the sort of performance that may be expected. The application of this technology to radar is then discussed showing the advantages that may be obtained through the use of coherent digital IF processing. Finally some experimental DRFM based radar configurations are described illustrating the results that have been achieved and the implications that these might have on future radar systems.
