Software Radar Hardware Architecture Based on General Computer

For software radar, different functions are realized by software running on standard hardware platform, which brings to great predominance over traditional radar. In this paper, realizable structure of software radar was analyzed, and hardware platform based on computer was studied. Two hardware architectures, one-computer architecture as well as computer cluster architecture were raised based on computer. The one-computer architecture is available to radars that cubage is restricted, while computer cluster architecture is applied in huge radar with complex computation.
