Abstract :
This paper presents the design of a scalable multichannel digital platform suitable for a waveform-agile radar. At first the purpose of the design is explained following the status of research on software-defined radar at MTSR. Afterwards a description of the proposed system architecture is given. Finally some preliminary results obtained on a prototype of the platform are shown.
