On behalf of IDS GeoRadar – Part of Hexagon – and following specifications provided by the latter, Florence Engineering developed an RF SRD (Short Range Devices) module to be used for radar applications in the geophysical field. A peculiarity of this project is the presence of a multi-channel reception chain which required a considerable effort in RF routing, aimed at reducing the complexity and therefore the cost of the developed electronic assembly. The module also implements monitoring functionality via BITE (Built-In Test Equipment), implemented at the RF level in the various sections, it also has calibration functionality implemented through specific hardware subsections as well as RF level control and management functionality. The entire system was validated at the Florence Engineering laboratories through the creation of a pre-series subsequently used by the customer to obtain the mandatory certifications.
