Abstract

Marine radar commonly used for ship navigation. Nowadays, utilization of this radar to another application has expanded. For further applications, several marine radars have some limitations such as monochrome display and require new signal acquisition and processing. This research developed marine radar signal acquisition and processing system based on Furuno x-band marine radar 1932 Mark-2. The developed tool consist of marine radar signal conditioner, ADC and marine radar signal processing using Matlab. This signal processing system display provide signal echo strength visualization, gain control, sea clutter control and rain clutter control. The simulation test was conducted to test the signal processing system. The result was the GUI display at full and half gain are quite similar with marine radar display unit view. The sea and rain clutter control test results were relevant with its function in reducing more close echoes rather than far echoes. While the time required for creating an image is still need for improvement.
