Implementation of advanced radar processes on TMS320C5x processors

With respect to the advent of radar systems technology, necessity of using advanced and complex processing in the receivers, transfer of high volume of data and need of real time processing in relation to radar signals, appropriate processor must provide the required processing speed. This performance usually is provided with programmable digital signal processors. In this paper, first, processes such as pulse compression with phase coding method, clutter canceling with delay line canceller and Doppler filter bank methods are introduced, then several procedures of parametric and clutter map constant false alarm ratio along with combination of these two methods are described and finally possibility of implementation of these processes on a Texas Instrument DSP are investigated.
