SCI-2k Imaging System
The SCI-2k radar design is particularly well suited for field based
diagnostic measurements because of the inherently less complicated
design that employs a continuous frequency sweep that generates all
frequencies within a designated range. The radar system takes advantage
of advancements in digital signal processor (DSP) technology. The
radar sensor is based on a relatively simple and robust radar concept
that uses a lightweight, low-cost, linear frequency modulated (FM)
homodyne radar. Perhaps the most important fact is that the SCI radar
has been successfully employed by armed services and defense contractors
for applications in aircraft, ship and component imaging.
This system supports sub-band frequency sweeps that are optimal for
the fastest possible measurements and includes a random PRF capability.
The SCI-2k incorporates hi-speed RF switches and RF attenuators that
allow the collection of multiple frequency bands "on the fly". All
Logical Radars use common acquisition parameters such as angle sample
increment and measurement speed.
