The RVP7/main signal processor is replaced by the RVP901-WSP IF
Digital Receiver. The RVP901-WSP meets or exceeds the specifications of
the RVP7 and is designed to mount in a similar fashion as the RVP7,
although its footprint is slightly larger. The RVP7 fiber optic link carrying
the RVP I and Q interface to the RxNet7 is replaced by an Ethernet
interface to the RVP902 Processor. The RVP902 Processor also replaces
the Ampro embedded computer to provide the same RIM API control and
status functions as the original implementation.
The ASR9 WSP connections on the original RxNet7 front panel have been
preserved and implemented on the RCP903 ASR9 Panel on J1 and J2 and
connects to the existing WSP interface hardware in the ASR9 radar. The
panel also preserved the serial interfaces provided by the RxNet7 on J3 and
J4. The RIN-PE connection to the Mercury computer have been obsoleted
and the I/Q data path for the ASR9 will now pass to the RVP902 Processor
over Ethernet on J5. The required trigger and header information is
provided to the RVP901-WSP using its general purpose I/O interface from
J6 on the RCP903 ASR9 Panel. This allows the RVP902 Processor to
synchronize the ASR9 and RVP900 data streams.
In addition to the RCP903, RVP901-WSP, and RVP902 hardware, an
Ethernet switch is provided to allow connections from the RVP901-WSP
and RCP903 ASR9 Panel to communicate with ETH1 on the RVP902
Processor, a AC/DC power supply to power the RCP903 ASR9 Panel and
an AC power strip to power the RCP903 supply and RVP902 Processor are
provided. All of the components in Bay 3 are designed to fit in the same
area as the original RxNet7 solution. The block diagram for the new
RVP900 base ASR9 WSP solution is shown in Figure 80 and a table with
the RVP900-WSP components is shown in Table 35.
