Signal processing systems for radar installations are provided for simultaneous processing of one or more IF signals of dynamically varying frequency and bandwidth with a single analog signal path. The signal processing system includes, but is not limited to, a converter configured to digitize a return signal resulting in a digitized broadband signal, and a signal processor coupled to the converter. The signal processor includes a digital filter having a center frequency and a bandwidth, and the digital filter is configured to select a signal from the digitized broadband signal. The selected signal has a center frequency. The signal processor is configured to match the center frequency of the digital filter with the center frequency of the selected signal, and adjust the bandwidth of the digital filter based on the selected signal.

A method to receive channels in an undersampled broadband receiver is provided. The method includes converting received radio frequency signals to downshifted-sampled-digital signals at an analog-to-digital converter in a sampling system, outputting the downshifted-sampled-digital signals to a digital system for digital processing, and determining if the unique identifying code associated with a desired channel is detectable. Each channel in the radio frequency signal has an assigned unique identifying code. When the unique identifying code is detectable, the method includes detecting the unique identifying code associated with the desired channel. When the unique identifying code is undetectable, the method includes outputting control signals from the digital system to tune an adjustable sample clock in the sampling system and tuning the adjustable sample clock based on the output control signals.

A smearing compensation apparatus for a radar system having a scanning antenna is provided. The apparatus includes a first memory for storing a plurality of data streams, with each data stream corresponds to a radar signal received at a different angular position of the antenna, and a second memory stores radiation pattern data of the antenna. A frequency domain transform processor performs a frequency domain transform on the radiation pattern data stored in the second memory to produce a frequency characteristic of the radiation pattern data. A compensation function processor applies a compensation function to the frequency characteristic of the radiation pattern data to produce a compensated frequency characteristic. An inverse frequency domain transform processor performs an inverse frequency domain transform on the compensated frequency characteristic to produce digital filter coefficients. A digital filter processes the plurality of data streams stored in the first memory using the digital filter coefficients.

Systems and methods for detecting a signal across multiple Nyquist bands. The systems include an analog to digital converter (ADC), a clock signal generator configured to output a sample clock signal to the ADC, and a processor configured to process sampled signals and control the clock signal generator. The processor is configured to iteratively identify a desired signal, determine whether a possible interfering signal exists at a next sampling rate, and instruct the clock signal generator to generate the next sampling rate if the processor determines that a possible interfering signal does not exist. The methods include sampling an input signal at a first sampling rate, processing the sampled signal to extract information from a desired signal, determining whether a possible interfering signal exists at a next sampling rate, and sampling at the next sampling rate if it is determined that a possible interfering signal does not exist.

A wideband multi-channel receiver comprises an antenna configured to receive a radio frequency band comprising an aviation VHF communication band, an aviation VHF navigation band, an aviation L-band, or combinations thereof. A band-pass filter is in signal communication with the antenna, and a low-noise amplifier is in signal communication with the band-pass filter. A mixer is in signal communication with the low-noise amplifier and is configured to translate a radio frequency band to an intermediate frequency (IF) band. A tunable local oscillator is in signal communication with the mixer. At least one fixed-frequency notch filter is in signal communication with the mixer, with the notch filter configured to reject at least one interference signal in the IF band while passing remaining signals in the IF band. An analog-to-digital converter is in signal communication with the notch filter and is configured to convert the remaining signals in the IF band to digital signals. A digital processing system is in signal communication with the analog-to-digital converter.

Described herein are methods and apparatuses for receiving a desired signal at a signal receiver with an undersampling frequency. A signal converter with a local oscillator frequency, a bandpass filter, and an analog-to-digital converter are used to generate an aliased discrete-time spectrum from an input analog spectrum. In order to determine the presence of interfering signals in the aliased discrete-time spectrum and, if present, separate a desired signal from the interfering signal, the local oscillator frequency is shifted. The original discrete-time spectrum and the resulting shifted discrete-time spectrum are both analyzed to select a local oscillator frequency that does not cause interference with the desired signal when the discrete-time spectrum is generated. The selected local oscillator frequency is then utilized to process the desired signal.

Disclosed are methods and systems for mitigating unwanted signal components. A received carrier signal is downconverted using a local reference signal that imposes an frequency perturbation or dither. Later, when an intermediate digitized signal is filtered to remove the DC offset that is an artifact of the sampling process, the dither in the carrier signal serves to distinguish the carrier from the unwanted offset. The preferred offset filter is a low pass filter with a passband that is narrow relative to the frequency range of the dither.
