41. Conclusions
• A complete software based radar system
– Digital signal and data processing
– VHF analog front-end with
3KWp solid-state power amplifier
– Interfacing to the existing P-18 antenna system
• Error-free operation during the field trials
• Capability of available technology and
knowledge base in Hungary was
demonstrated
