Abstract
On the basis of the analysis of the system sounding principle, this paper introduced a new type of ionospheric oblique backscattering sound system, which is based on the pseudo- random noise phase modulated pulse compression. According to the high requirements of real-time and a large amount of computation and echo characteristics, a high-speed real-time signal processing system was established and the design of system hardware and software was focused on. The sounding results indicate that the system is equipped to handle the data fast and has a high degree of software features. It is of great significance for the realization of fast, real-time ionospheric sounding means.
