According to one embodiment, a radar return signal processing apparatus includes a detector, an estimation unit and an extraction unit. The detector detects an average Doppler frequency, a spectrum width, and a received power of each of echoes, from a radar return signal obtained repeatedly at regular intervals. The estimation unit estimates an optimum mixed density function by learning modeling a shaped of the frequency spectrum by calculating repeatedly a sum of density functions of each of the echoes. The extraction unit extracts information on any one of the echoes included in the radar return signal, from a parameter of the estimated mixed density function.

According to one embodiment, a dual polarization radar apparatus includes a received power calculation unit configured to calculate a horizontal polarization received power and a vertical polarization received power, the horizontal polarization received power indicating a power value of a horizontal polarization received signal reflected from an observation target, the vertical polarization received power indicating a power value of a vertical polarization received signal reflected from the observation target, a power ratio calculation unit configured to calculate a power ratio between the horizontal polarization received power and the vertical polarization received power, and an interference judgment unit configured to judge that an interference signal is mixed to the horizontal polarization received signal or the vertical polarization received signal when the power ratio is greater than a predetermined threshold value.

Dual polarization radar apparatus and interference judgment method

To be able to transmit a response packet to the original request node after a bus ID/a device ID is replaced in the PCI-Express switch for a PCI-Express communication system, a unique node ID for indicating each node is set to the nodes. Additionally, it is confirmed whether or not the packet is transferred in the correct order in a series of packet transfers. For that purpose, a sequence code indicating the sequence number of a packet in a series of packet transfer is set in an address field of a packet of data transfer.

PCI-express communications system

To be able to transmit a response packet to a target, which is the original request source node, even if, after issuing a request from a node to another, a bus ID/a device ID is replaced in the PCI-Express switch before said another node makes a response to the request source node in a PCI-Express communication system, which uses a PCI-Express switch. For that purpose, a unique node ID for indicating each node is set to the nodes, a channel ID is set to each channel used for data transfer, and the node ID of the transfer destination module, the channel ID of a channel used for the data transfer, and the packet type indicating that the packet is a request or a response are set in an address field of a packet of data transfer. For the data transfer, only a memory write request packet routed by address routing is used.
