User Interface Software
The user interface software allows for full control of all radar hardware parameters, data collection and storage, and real-time data processing/display. This intuitive program also feature
integrated target/antenna motion control, simple calibration and background subtraction reference collection, an image parameter calculator, and Range Walk with real-time transmit/ receive bracket adjustments.
Measurement parameter setups can be saved and recalled, as well as calibration and background subtraction reference vectors.
Plot types include line plots (e.g., magnitude or phase vs. frequency, FFT-based range profiles, or Doppler plots), time/position charts, intensity charts (magnitude/phase vs. frequency/range/Doppler vs. time), and ISAR or SAR images. 
For each plot type, the user can select the desired X- Y- and Z-axis data sources from a plot type-specific list for each plot axis. The user may dynamically enable or disable processing functions such as calibration, background subtraction, R^4 collection, weighting function, and zero-Doppler subtraction as data is collected. Scaling for all plot axes can be either auto-scaled or adjusted manually.
The software includes a series of automated system diagnostics tests. These include A/D statistics; long-term system stability using loop mode tests; receiver linearity, and I/Q circularity.
