Time (azimuth) averaging

Autocorrelations are based on input I and Q values over a selectable number of pulses between 8 ... 256. Any integer number of pulses in this interval may be used, including DFT/FFT and random phase modes.

Selectable angle synchronization using the input AZ and EL tag lines assures that all possible pulses are used during averaging for each, for example, 1° interval. This minimizes the number of wasted pulses for maximum sensitivity. Azimuth angle synchronization also assures the accurate vertical alignment of radial data from different elevation angles in a volume scan.
