The RDA-2000 Radar Data Acquisition board is a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) PCI Board that is designed to be installed in a standard PC. The board receives radar video, trigger and azimuth signals from a radar unit. The incoming radar signals are digitized, processed and then transferred via the PCI bus to the host computer. The board can be used as a front end to
support acquisition and storage of high-resolution radar data, LAN-based radar distribution and Digital Plot Extraction for target tracking applications.

The RDA-2000 samples the incoming radar video at 160MHz to provide extremely high-resolution radar data. On-board Digital Signal Processing (DSP) circuits are implemented with programmable logic to allow algorithms to be tailored to match a wide range of different applications. Radar can be captured in a defined sector(s) or over the entire radar coverage area. Programmable gain, offset, Sensitivity Time Control (STC) processing, digital video thresholding, range decimation, azimuth decimation, and vector time
stamping is supported.
