Digital recording system for high-resolution radar

Abstract

This paper describes some of the issues that arise in the design of a radar recording system. Typically such systems require the simultaneous capture and archival of large amounts of data from multiple sources and media. The data must be captured, combined and archived together in a way that makes accurate reproduction possible. The proposed design can be implemented in Windows/NT using readily available technology. The success of the implementation depends on the integration of standard hardware to the analogue sources using custom interfaces. The software development effort requires the creation of graphical user interfaces, client/server architectures, and real-time kernel-mode drivers.
