Abstract :
The paper describes an overview of a novel signal processor for multi-beam radars. The processor has been developed for a digital beam forming radar system, which has a capability of generating 6 beams at the same time. The processor consists of a digital phase sensitive detector, a digital beam former, and a multi-beam signal processor, and processes the multi-channel data from the antenna. The architecture and the features of the processors are first presented, and the evaluation results of an experimental model of the processors are shown
