On the other hand, the US Navy's AEGIS AN/SPY-1 modified radar uses a RACE computer to replace the original signal processing hardware architecture with 192 SHARC processors. Conventional techniques for processing instant signals can be implemented in hardware or software, but have their drawbacks. Among them, the instant signal is processed by the hardware architecture, although the processing speed can be speeded up, and it is synchronous processing. However, when applied to different system specifications, different hardware circuits must be designed. However, if the software implements the processing of the real-time signal, although the hardware architecture has the scalability (S ca 1 abi 1 ity ), the disadvantage is that it is not easy to achieve the immediate requirement, and if the processor is an asynchronous system, it is very Difficulties are synchronized with the entire instant signal processing system. In order to overcome the above problems, in U.S. Patent No. 5,7 0 1,4 8 2
