Software defined RADAR a state of the art

A software-defined radar is a versatile radar system, where most of the processing, like signal generation, filtering, up-and down conversion etc. is performed by a software. This paper presents a state of the art of software-defined radar technology. It describes the design concept of software-defined radars and the two possible implementations. A global assessment is presented, and the link with the Cognitive Radar is explained.
