ABSTRACT
This chapter considers the main stages of system design of the digital target return signal processing subsystem employed by a complex surveillance radar system using a phased array. It discusses some general considerations associated with the designing and construction of a digital target return signal processing subsystem, particularly in the context of an automated complex “radar-digital signal processing and control subsystem” (CRS). The basic idea of any CRS digital signal processing and control subsystem is defined, first of all, by the type and purpose of the CRS. The CRS digital signal processing and control subsystem must be able to stabilize the radar performance under hard conditions that involve high-precision operations and applications. However, the complete automatization of digital signal processing and control subsystems is worthwhile in the case of CRSs operating in global systems on control, earth-based guidance and tracking, landing, and so on.
