A Portable Facility Developed for Radar Testing Based on ZYNQ

With the update and improvements of radar technology, radar testing has gained wider and higher demand. Radar testing facilities are developing towards miniaturization and high real time. The emergence of ZYNQ, which is a kind of all programmable SoC designed by Xilinx, allows us to design a portable radar testing facility with high performance based on it. ZYNQ is composed of two parts, the processing system (PS) based on ARM Cortex-A9 and the programmable logic (PL) based on Xilinx FPGA, convenient for building a freely customizable embedded system platform. This paper presents a portable facility developed for radar testing based on ZYNQ. The Radar testing system is a small-sized independent work platform, and results show that the facility can realize the transmission, calculation, storage and display of radar testing data in a 5 ms/10 ms cycle.
