PC Based open standard radar display system

Abstract

This paper describes an implementation of a new PC based RADAR monitoring system which mainly eliminates some limitations in the current monitoring system and introduces some advanced features over the current system. The project covers implementation of two main functional units, open standard interface unit and web based monitoring unit. The open standard interface enables interfacing different Radar data protocols to a normal PC through the USB interface and this data can be used to develop any application that may process radar data and in this particular project we have developed a display application to monitor traffic. Providing a web interface to monitor the radar data enables the user to access the system remotely. We have also added features such as Traffic Statistic Recording, identifying various issues in radar units such as loss targets, patches etc with the purpose of enhancing the functionality of the display system
