A digital computer program for real-time computation of radar cross section on a dynamic target
digitalcomputerp00king.pdf (3.020Mb)Abstract
This thesis describes the design and use of a computer program for
the real-time computation of radar cross section of a dynamic target
using the NIKE/AJAX radar. The program is written specifically for use
on the SDS-9300/CI-5000 hybrid computer system but could be adapted to
other data processing systems. The input data consists of transmitted
values of range, bearing and elevation from the NIKE/AJAX radar digital
data buffer and sampled values of automatic gain control voltage and
logrithmic amplifier output voltage from the NIKE/AJAX radar. Outputs
include values of target range, bearing, elevation, velocity, heading,
angle, X and Y positions, instantaneous values of target cross section
and averaged values of target cross section. These computed quantities
are converted into scaled voltages which are transmitted to displays in
the radar laboratory. Although the system at this tine provides only a
basic real-time capability, it provides a foundation for further work
planned in this area.
