About
The RADSP-22-A is a full-function radar core processing board designed to simplify the development of millimeter-wave FMCW (frequency-modulated continuous wave) radars operating in the 20.9-23.9 GHz range. It generates a swept low-phase-noise local oscillator output that connects to an external millimeter-wave transmitter, and processes return signals through up to three independent receiver channels.
The receive path down-converts incoming radar signals to an IF centered at 5.4 GHz, from which sub-13 MHz beat signals are extracted and output for external processing. This architecture allows multiple target data – including range, velocity, and direction – to be computed by relatively inexpensive embedded processors, and the three-channel receiver enables monopulse tracking for precise angle-of-arrival determination and target tracking.
Housed in a rugged aluminum enclosure with external connectors, the RADSP-22-A is designed for applications including space debris tracking radar, ground surveillance, airborne detection systems, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging. The board’s universal architecture is compatible with Arralis’ W-band and E-band MMIC modules, enabling the construction of complete millimeter-wave radar systems with minimal additional components.
