Design of the software radar signal generator using LabVIEW

The design of the software radar signal generator using LabVIEW environment and the universal hardware NI PXI - 5673 has been presented in the paper. The stream up to four pulses with linear frequency modulation (LFM) and different durations and gaps between them can be generated in RF band up to 6.6 GHz. Other generation mode i.e. single, repeated and continual can be triggered manually or automatically. The configuration of the LFM pulses is carried out manually using software front panel.
