1. Development of a medium-frequency pulse-compression transmitter signal generator and receiver signal processing system for radar equipment for new and modernized systems

Project ID: GINOP-2.1.7-15-2016-00973

Support rate: 60.24%

Support amount: HUF 60,625,885

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 has improved noise suppression capability 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 flexibly between modulation modes and set additional operating parameters. The numerical and graphical evaluation of output data, as well as testing and error-handling functions, are also provided by proprietary software.

2. Universal high-frequency mixer and oscillator unit for new and modernized radar systems

Project ID: GINOP-2.1.2-8-1-4-16-2019-00749

Support rate: 55%

Support amount: HUF 98,002,786

Project description:

The generally compatible devices developed and manufactured under the tender (high-frequency receiver unit, controlled local oscillator unit, transmitter drive unit) can be used both for the modernization of different types of radars and for integration into new radar equipment. In general, the units support a wide range of programmable operating modes.

Parameter setting, operating mode selection, and device control are also available from a user-friendly graphical interface, supporting easy operation. PC-based operator and service software provide modification of operating parameters, as well as 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 the option of a built-in self-test function.

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

4. Development of a modular high-power transmitter system and antenna for X-band radar equipment

Project ID: GINOP_PLUSZ-2.1.1-21-2022-00088

Support rate: 63.4065%

Contracted support amount: HUF 206,755,965, of which EU support amounts to HUF 181,945,249

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 applied semiconductor transmitter technology provides precise and controllable microwave energy at a high level compared to previous technologies. The product is generally compatible, so it can be used, within given constraints, both for modernizing different radar types in the X frequency band and for integration into new equipment. The wide programmable range ensures that, beyond today's requirements, the development result can also accommodate future scientific advances.

Project completion date: 2025. 01. 16.

The project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the Hungarian state budget in co-financing, in the form of conditionally non-repayable support. The GINOP_PLUSZ-2.1.1-21-2022-00088 project was implemented with co-financing by the European Union.
