5.2.2 Radar Video Input
These parameters configure the input ports for the analogue radar video signal.
Name
Description

Video signal offset I
Video signal offset Q
Video signal offset adjustment. Used to adjust the video DC offset. See chapter 5.2.2.1.
Offset range is 0 to 1023.
The offset can be controlled for both channels (Iand Q) independently.
Video signal gain I
Video signal gain Q
Video signal gain adjustment. Used to adjust the video signal gain. See chapter 5.2.2.1.
Gain range is 0 to 1023.
The gain can be controlled for both channels (Iand Q) independently.
Sync signal
termination
The termination resistance for the video sync input. This should be set according to the
sync output on the radar. Valid selections: 50 Ω, 75 Ω, High voltage or No termination.
Differential sync
signal
Selects differential or single-ended signal input.
Sync edge
The edge of the sync signal on which the acquisition shall start. Rising or falling edge.
5.2.2.1 Analogue video capture adjustments
It is possible to adjust the capture of the analogue video signal to fit the signal levels of the radar
connected.
1. Configure the radar video input termination and differential parameters to match the radar
video signal from the radar.
2. Use the R5 RIC Analyser or other radar video A-scope to view the captured signal.
3. Adjust the data offset until the signal is in the middle of the scope.
4. Adjust the data gain until the signal touch the upper and lower scope edges.

5.2.2.2 Atlas analogue video capture adjustments
For the Atlas radar, the analogue video capture adjustments must be done slightly differently due to
the composite signal.
It is important that the R5 RIC is able to detect and separate the azimuth information from the video
signal.
1. Configure the radar video input termination and differential parameters to match the radar
video signal from the radar.
2. Make sure to configure the R5 RIC to radar “Atlas”, that the Atlas “Video offset” parameter is
zero and then use the R5 RIC Analyser or other radar video A-scope to view the captured
signal.
3. Adjust the video input data offset, data gain, sampling frequency and number of samples until
the signal can be seen as in Figure 6. The video will move around before the composite sync
has been detected.
Figure 6, Atlas composite signal example. Multiple sync pulses visible.
4. Identify the sync pulse in the video. In Figure 6, the sync is seen pointing upwards. The easiest
way to identify the sync signal is to locate the azimuth bars. The azimuth information is
negative in regards to the sync pulse.
If the sync is positive, configure the R5 RIC with “Positive sync polarity” under the atlas
specific configuration parameters.
5. Adjust the video input gain and offset so that only a small portion of the sync and initial
azimuth pulse is visible. See Figure 7.
Note that once the sync pulse reaches the upper (or lower if negative) limit of the R5 RIC
Analyzer window, the system will lock-on the sync and the video will stabilize. The azimuth
information will also be extracted and presented in the azimuth field of R5 RIC Analyzer.

6. Set sampling frequency and number of samples so that the azimuth bars no longer are visible.
7. If the signal is negative as in Figure 7, set the “Data invert” configuration parameter.
8. Adjust the Atlas video offset until the video lies just above the bottom of the R5 RIC Analyzer
window. See figure Figure 8.

This feature performs a down sampling in range. I.e. reduces the range resolution.
Last - The last sample in each sample set is used
Max - The maximum sample in each sample set is used
Data type
The data type of the radar video samples sent from the R5 RIC. Must be 8-bit or 16-bit
when using STT packages.
Enable pulse
integration
Enables pulse integration.
Pulse integration integrates echoes over a number of strobes to increase detectability of
weak signals.
Pulse integration
level
Number of strobes to integrate using pulse integration.
Can be set from 1 to 8.
Enable FTC
Enables the FTC (edge detect) filter function.
The FTC filter in R5 RIC is based on a moving average function that is used to detect rising
edges of slow moving targets.
FTC level
Number of samples used for the FTC filter function.
Can be set to 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512 samples.
FTC gain
A gain that can be applied after the FTC in order to increase amplitude of the filtered data.
Can be set to the factors x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32, x64 or x128.
Data invert
Inverts the samples. i.e. 122 become 65413 when using 16-bit samples.
Used for radars with inverted radar video signal.

Description
Sector Downsample
Enables down sampling to sectors.
This feature is a down sampling in azimuth. I.e. reduces azimuth resolution.
Sector Count
The number of sectors that shall be sent from the R5 RIC. Must be greater than or equal to
8, and less than or equal to the number of azimuth steps for the antenna.
Only applicable when sector down sampling is enabled.

Figure 10, Web interface lower part
The main window has the following areas of interest:
1. There are 6 indicator symbols. The first three status information indicators are for ACP, ARP
and Sync. These indicators are green when the corresponding signals are present, and red if
they are not. The RPM figure is calculated from the time between two ARP pulses. The sync
frequency is calculated from the time between 2 sync pulses. The last status symbol is green
when the azimuth pulses (ACP) correspond with the configured Max Azimuth value.
2. Parameters and system status
3. In the access field it is possible to get and set values for all configurable parameters. This is
done by writing the parameter name (auto-complete is available), and then either use the get
or set button.
To store the value use R5RIC configurator (see section 5).
5.3.1 Maintenance Web interface
With a web browser type the IP-address of the R5RIC followed by /maintenance and the maintenance
page will appear (see Figure 11). On this page it is possible to both upload and download the
complete configuration to/from the R5RIC and to perform software upgrade.
