Abstract
Based on the theory of wave digital filters (WDFs), new model is derived to represent
matched filter for radar applications, derived from lumped/distributed ladder
networks. This model contains lumped elements and commensurate transmission
lines. This paper also introduced a real-time implementation of the proposed model.
We will demonstrate that this approach can be implemented in real time, although
with this prototype the frequencies are too low for practical radar applications. The
real-time implementation is performed based on input/output data acquisition card
using MATLAB, SIMULINK toolbox, Real-Time Workshop (RTW) toolbox and
Real-Time Windows target (RTWT) toolbox. In addition, real-time windows target
requires the Watcom C/C++ compiler.
