Patent attributes
A method includes receiving, at a radar timing card, radar timing information and a synchronous clock signal. The method also includes generating, using the radar timing card, a timing trigger to indicate a time of transmission for radar return information. The method further includes receiving, at each of multiple digital-to-analog converter (DAC) channels of one or more DAC cards, the synchronous clock signal and the timing trigger. In addition, the method includes simultaneously transmitting, from each of the DAC channels, a dedicated portion of the radar return information based on the time of transmission indicated by the timing trigger. The synchronous clock signal is used to align the simultaneous transmissions of the DAC channels on the one or more DAC cards.
