HARDWARE BOUNDARY CHECKING FOR RADAR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18183292 titled 'HARDWARE BOUNDARY CHECKING FOR RADAR
The abstract describes a radar system with a direct memory access (DMA) feature, which includes various components such as bus interface, potential object queue memory, potential object queue logic, and boundary checking circuitry.
- The DMA system has a bus interface with control/status registers and data-in/data-out registers.
- It includes potential object queue memory connected to the bus interface.
- The DMA also features potential object queue logic linked to the potential object queue memory.
- Boundary checking circuitry is incorporated to detect if any part of a DMA read configuration exceeds maximum or falls below minimum range or Doppler bins.
Potential Applications: - Radar systems - Data processing systems - Real-time monitoring and tracking systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient data transfer and processing in radar systems - Ensuring data integrity and accuracy in range and Doppler measurements
Benefits: - Improved radar system performance - Enhanced data processing capabilities - Increased accuracy in object detection and tracking
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Radar Systems for Enhanced Surveillance and Monitoring This technology can be utilized in military surveillance, weather monitoring, air traffic control, and security systems to enhance detection and tracking capabilities.

Original Abstract Submitted
A radar system including a direct memory access (DMA). The DMA includes a bus interface including control/status registers and data-in/data-out registers. The DMA also includes potential object queue memory coupled to the bus interface, and a potential object queue logic coupled to the potential object queue memory. The DMA also includes boundary checking circuitry configured to detect whether any portion of a DMA read configuration is greater than a maximum range bin or less than a minimum range bin. The boundary checking circuitry detects whether any portion of the DMA read configuration is greater than a maximum Doppler bin or less than a minimum Doppler bin.
