The invention provides a programmable frequency control array
radar waveform generation
system and method based on an FPGA, and belongs to the technical field of
radar systems and
digital signal processing. In order to solve the technical problems of complex hardware
system, inflexible parameter adjustment and poor multi-channel
synchronism of the traditional frequency control array
radar, the invention provides an integrated high-performance solution. The
system adopts an FPGA (
Field Programmable Gate Array) architecture of an
integrated processing system (PS) and programmable logic (PL). The method comprises the following steps: a PS end receives waveform
control parameters of an upper computer through a
communication interface and transmits the waveform
control parameters to a PL end; and a plurality of parallel direct digital
frequency synthesizer (DDS) modules in the PL end synchronously generate multi-channel digital
baseband signals with programmable
frequency offset at high precision according to the parameters under the unified driving of the FPGA global
clock network. And the
digital signal is subjected to digital-to-analog conversion and
radio frequency front-end
processing to finally form a transmitting wave beam. According to the invention, flexible programmability of parameters is realized by utilizing a PS-PL collaborative architecture, the synchronization precision of multi-channel signals is remarkably improved through a global
clock network and a parallel DDS module generated in the FPGA, and meanwhile, the system has the advantages of high integration level and
low complexity.
