Baseband Signal Generation for Multi-Function Phased Array Radar

Abstract

The multi-function phased array radar (MPAR) is used for weather monitoring, air-traffic control requirements and non-cooperative elements monitoring in a parallel manner. The amplitude of the radio frequency signal is varied depending on the location of the target from the radar. The proposed work generates a signal which is used as a input for RF transmitter of Multifunction Phased Array Radar. To achieve this MPAR requirement, the in-phase and quadrature-phase samples are generated for a high data rate using MATLAB and then VHDL output was obtained from Xilinx for QPSK and QAM modulation techniques.
