Abstract :
In this paper, we present DSP architecture for target detection based on range azimuth cell averaging constant false alarm rate (ARCA-CFAR) processor with non coherent integration. The proposed architecture has been designed to deal with parallel processing and to be configured for the RACA-CFAR algorithm implementation. The design has been implemented on a Texas Instruments TMS320C6711 digital signal processor board with a good performance improvement. The proposed system scheme and the real time implementation results are presented and discussed in this paper.
