Project description:

As a result of the project, a new software-controlled product will be developed that can be widely used to generate the medium-frequency pulse-compression transmit signal of radar systems and to process the reflected signal.

The design of the hardware and software elements provides high compatibility, flexible scalability, and multiple operating modes, enabling the device to be used in radars of different types and wavelengths. The development also supports the modernization of earlier (analog and digital) radars by applying the latest fast digital technologies. This results in higher computing capacity, more accurate results, new functions, and more reliable operation.

The prototype is capable of implementing complex algorithms, filtering methods, and mathematical models in practice. Thus, the device offers improved noise suppression and enables better detection probability parameters for users. This greatly supports later use of the device in radar products.

The development enables multiple signal modulation methods within a single device. A programmable modulation unit performs this across a wide range. A software-controlled graphical user interface allows users to switch between modulation modes and set additional operating parameters. A proprietary software also provides numerical and graphical evaluation of output data as well as testing and error-handling functions.

Project description:

The devices developed and manufactured within the tender (high-frequency receiver unit; controlled local oscillator unit; transmitter drive unit) are universally compatible and can be used for modernization of various radars and for integration into new radar equipment as well. The units support a wide range of programmable operating modes.

Parameter setting, mode selection, and device control are available from a user-friendly graphical interface, enabling easy operation. PC-based operator and service software provide modification of operating parameters, and the reception, processing, display, archiving, and forwarding of processed data and status information. The software-controlled operation also enables remote operation and monitoring of operating parameters with built-in self-test capability.

The operation of the new units can be divided into several functional units. These are implemented by various hardware and software components. The resulting hardware and software subsystems are fully modular, which supports future maintainability and operation in radar equipment.

Subject of development:

Development of a series-production-ready transmitter unit and antenna for radar equipment operating in a selected range of the “X” band (8–12 GHz), built on state-of-the-art semiconductor technology instead of electron tube technology widely used in this band.

Project description:

The project developed a new, software-controlled high-power transmitter unit and power supply system that can operate in an existing or new X-band radar system. The semiconductor transmitter technology delivers precise and controllable microwave energy at a high level compared to earlier technologies. The product is universally compatible and can be used both for modernization of various radar types within given constraints and for integration into new equipment. The wide programmable range ensures that the development can accommodate future scientific results beyond current requirements.

Project completion date: 2025. 01. 16.
