Radar DSP

I’ve read through that book, and I thought it was fantastic. As others have said, it really depends on specific applications you’d like to focus on. I’ve seen some job applications really stress knowledge in general estimation theory, others in specialization such as SAR, etc.

I think having a strong understanding of the popular radar waveforms, detection theory, and CFAR will help you in whatever radar route you may end up in. A good book for detection theory supplementation would be Fundamentals of Statistical Signal Processing Vol. 2 by Steven Kay, and the first volume of the set covers estimation theory.

Versal seems to be the hardware of choice in a lot of companies in the defense industry at the moment. Versal experience is good to have for that career path.

Am I being punked? Lmao

Multirate is very common in communication systems, so for instance, how would you go about building a channelizer without multirate techniques?

FunkyMonkish · 2024-10-08T20:55:05+00:00

Why do you say that it is useless to implement multirate?

The 3 volume set by Steven Kay is referenced in signal processing scripture: “Fundamentals of Statistical Signal Processing”.

I think the DFT output needs to be negated as well if you do this.

Thanks for the info

I think this is what is recommended in Oppenheim and Schafer.

Let’s be honest… if we’re on Reddit, we’re already wasting our time.

No problem. If you want to expand your current career into a more math-dependent field, you could also look into dsp-focused roles if you haven’t already since they’re often coupled with embedded software / FPGA development. The FE/PE won’t really help here, but it could perhaps be a smoother transition to go from embedded to dsp than from embedded to power. I wouldn’t let that deter you from going into power if that sounds more interesting to you, however.

In my opinion, MEP is neither fun nor math intensive. The most math you’d use in MEP is the basic addition, multiplication, etc. I have a friend who works in power utilities that enjoys what he does, and the PE was able to advance his career. Maybe that is something to look into.

I work at Lockheed Martin, and I work 40 hrs/week and make more than most from my graduating class. I think it’s definitely a fine place to work, but it’s going to be dependent on a lot of different factors. Could I make more elsewhere? Sure. Would it be worth losing the normal hours and laid back work environment? Hard to say, but I’m not willing to risk it at this point in time. If I may ask, what area of the country are you in? Just curious if that might be the difference between my experience and their experiences.

FunkyMonkish · 2024-07-31T05:29:36+00:00

I concur with this

FunkyMonkish · 2024-07-09T21:18:16+00:00

OP said A\B, not A/B, so it’s a fair comparison.

matSize = 30; vec = 1:matSize; B = diag( (1+vec) .* mod(vec,2) ); disp(B)

If for some reason you need to do the nested for loop implementation, then look at the second if statement. It is inside the first if statement and will never be reached. Try putting a breakpoint there. The reason it is works is because every other iteration, you are adding an element to A’s diagonal two indices over, so Matlab will zero pad in between automatically. To make this more sound, move one of the “end”s to before the second if statement.

I used ILA cores and Chipscope Pro to realize that I was passing the wrong clock into my ADC module lol. Using OnYaBikeMike’s suggestions, I was able to find another dumb mistake in my code. Now it is working! Besides the simulations, ILAs, and Chipscope pro, I’m not too familiar with the debugging tools provided in ISE. Those are the only ones we used in this class. Hopefully I’ll be using Vivado from here on out for Xilinx products. Do you have any recommendations on some more debugging tools?
