Abstract :
Developments over the past decade in technology such as high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADC), digital-to-analog converters (DAC) and field-programmable-gate-arrays (FPGA) contributed to the simplification of the hardware design of wideband digital radio frequency memories (DRFM). The progression in FPGA technology enabled the implementation of real-time wideband digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms for test and evaluation of present-day radars.
