Abstract: A digital display doppler radar unit has a moving mode and a stationary mode. The incoming doppler signal, which in the moving mode, represents both speed of the radar platform and speed of an approaching target vehicle, is separated into two signal components by selective filtering. One component represents the sum of the ground speeds for the radar platform and approaching vehicles. A time base is generated by a crystal control means and the time base is utilized for correlating the received doppler signals, indicative of speed, with the time base. Each doppler signal component is converted to binary coded decimal (BCD) information and a digital counter counts the cycles of each reeived doppler signal and compares the count with an amount previously stored. Circuit means are provided to validate the received doppler signal, allowing their continual processing only after a preselected number of valid comparisons are made.
