The simplified workflow of this radar system is as follows:
A Gunn Oscillator or Dielectric Resonator Oscillator (DRO) generates the transmit signal, which is routed to the Antenna via the Transmit Diplexer for transmission.
Reflected target signals are received by the Antenna and passed through the Transmit Diplexer to the Preamp (Preamplifier) for initial signal amplification.
The amplified signal is sent to the Mixer, where it combines with a signal from the Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) to produce an Intermediate Frequency (IF) signal.
The VCO is stabilized by a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) to ensure precise frequency control, and the Phase Detector supports PLL operation by comparing signal phases.
The IF signal goes through Track Filters for frequency selection and noise suppression, followed by Automatic Gain Control (AGC) to maintain consistent signal amplitude.
The processed IF signal is sent to the Digital Processor Circuits for data analysis and computation.
Finally, the analyzed results are output to the Display for visualization.
