PrefaceRVP8 User’s ManualApril 2003xiiiPrefaceThis manual provides technical information on the RVP8 digital receiver and Doppler signalprocessor.About This ManualThis manual is used primarily by engineers for installation and troubleshooting, or by usersinterested in understanding the signal processing features, algorithms, and control and dataformats.Chapter 1, Introduction and Specifications, describes the major features of the RVP8 signalprocessor and gives its technical specifications.Chapter 2, Hardware Installation, discusses the electrical issues involved with installing theRVP8 processor and IFD receiver module. This includes power supply connections, radaranalog and digital signal interfaces and computer interface connections. Software installation iscovered in a separate Appendix.Chapter 3, TTY Nonvolatile Setups, continues the installation discussion by describing how touse the local TTY to configure the actual operation of the RVP8. This includes a detaileddescription of the (approximately one hundred) setup parameters that affect the operation of theRVP8.Chapter 4, Plot-Assisted Setups, completes the installation discussion by using the oscilloscopeplotting modes to configure and align the radar receiver, and measure its performance.Chapter 5, Processing Algorithms, gives mathematical descriptions of the processing algorithmsimplemented in the RVP8 signal processor. This information can be useful to those writing theirown interface to the RVP8, or for those who want to learn more about the internal workings ofthe signal processor.Chapter 6, Host Computer Commands, contains a description of the digital commands that thehost computer must use to set up and control the RVP8 processor. The introductory sectiondiscusses processor I/O in general, and gives an overview of how to set up the RVP8 forrecording data. Each command is then detailed in subsequent sections.The appendixes give information on software installation and backup, the RVP8 standardchassis, and clutter filter characteristics.
