In
this figure
the logic analyzer trace has been
zoomed in to the area of the 1st acquisition of
the 5-element/25-position pattern (Gen_Video2).
A higher PRF signal (Gen_Video3) is already
present when the PRED begins the acquisition process.
Despite this interference a lock is obtained on the desired
signal, it is tracked (correctly) as a 25-position emitter
and properly timed look-throughs are executed every 8 pulses
as expected.
At one point
quite soon after initial acquisition of the pattern (near
sample 20,000), three emitters (Gen_Video1, Gen_Video2
and Gen_Video3) are being detected
simultaneously but the PRED manages to maintain a lock on
the Gen_Video2, successfully de-interleaving the pulse
trains until the end of its illumination. After generating
the required (5) Expected_Video pulses as it
was programmed, the Lock signal is brought low
to indicate a loss of the desired signal. At this point
look-throughs are discontinued and the receiver stays on to
look full-time for the emitter to return.
In order to more
closely examine the lock-on, the logic analyzer is
zoomed
in closer and markers are used to measure the
time from the start of the Gen_Video2 pulses
to the lock transition. This time is found to be 25.93 µs,
corresponding to 54 PRI of the desired signal. So, even
with another (higher PRF) signal present, the PRED was able
to acquire and track the desired 25-position pattern in just
over 2 full frames of the pattern. |
