IMPLEMENTATION OF ECHO SIGNAL DIGITAL PROCESSING FOR SEA ICE EVALUATION RADAR
For remote sensing of characteristics of sea arctic ice fields, such as speed and direction of ice motion, distance to an ice floe and thickness of ice, as the conducted researches have shown and the situation analysis, the radar system can be used. For this purpose we offered the multiband multi-channel coherent interferometric radar system that operates on one wavelength (8 mm). The radar system is design to use pulse (with wide bandwidth) compression techniques, coherent integration and interferometric processing to obtain the high loop sensitivity and high resolution on speed, range and altitude. This paper focuses on the realization of algorithms of echo-signals processing on FPGA.
