New method to implement digital down converter in radar system

Digital down converter (DDC) is the main part of the next generation high frequency (HF) radar. In order to realize the single chip integrations of digital receiver hardware in the next generation HF Radar, a new design for DDC by using FPGA is presented. Some important and practical applications are given in this paper, and the result can prove the validity. Because we can adjust the parameters freely according to our need, the DDC system can be adapted to the next generation HF radar system.
