A coherent Doppler lidar has been developed to address the need for a high-performance, compact, and cost-effective velocity and altitude sensor onboard landing vehicles. One of the core subsystems within NDL is its signal processing architecture. The primary function of this subsystem is to digitize the analog output of the homodyned signal received from the photo-diode associated with each telescope, process this signal in the frequency domain, and then turn this information into velocity and range measurements. A secondary function of this subsystem is to setup and control the internal components within NDL and to enable the instrument to interface with external systems by receiving commands, sending telemetry, and synchronizing its measurements with external clocks and pulses. This paper will give an overview of the signal processing architecture within NDL. This will include a discussion on its fundamental processing components and the core signal processing algorithms. Command, telemetry and internal component controls will also be discussed as will how the signal processing architecture has also evolved over the years of development. We will discuss provisions for robust operation including Triple-Mode Redundancy (TMR) within NDL’s Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and storage elements, a fault-tolerant boot process, and Error Detection and Correction (EDAC) on the Static Random-Access Memories (SRAMs). Finally, we conclude this paper with how this architecture could continue to evolve.
