After pulse pressure treatmentThe data are transmitted to the DSP through SRIO to estimate the ground object intensity, and the gain control code of the receiver is calculated. With reference to fig. 3, the automatic gain control system is implemented as follows:
1) Transmitting a message to a wave control board, setting the pointed beam direction, and presetting a receiver gain control code to be 20dB from-45 degrees to +45 degrees at an interval of 0.5 degrees;
2) Setting an FPGA working mode as a ground object measurement mode;
3) Receiving pulse pressure data of 100 repeated cycles through SRIO;
4) The pulse pressure I, Q data of the 100 repetition periods are respectively summed and averaged to obtain I, Q average values of the effective receiving time areas of the pulse 1 and the pulse 2Is->
5) Finding out the maximum absolute value of all I, Q data after the average of pulse 1 and pulse 2, namely the ground object intensity estimated value of the current beam direction
