08nov13: coded long pulse data taken with the dome
04feb13: take data using a sine wave and bandwidths:10,20,35 Mhz.
06aug11: data on telescope shows overflow wraparound.
05aug11: sine wave test
25oct09: carriage house coded long pulse, plasmaline image.
19oct09: injecting a 16010 Hz sine wave into rdev and some topSide data.
24sep09: rdev test with 430 dome transmitter and coded long pulse.
07mar08: filter shape using 17 db and 11 db roll off coefficients.
03jul07:birdies close to DC using the radar fpga.

Specs:

Max heights:

Assume 10 millisec ipp and 550 usec Tx pulse followed by height samples.
Then what are the maximum number of height samples we can take?

assume that we take samples starting after the txPulse until the end of the ipp , Or we take data samples till we reach 64Mbytes/sec (probably a reasonable maximum i/o rate for the mocks).

bandwidth Mhz	txSamples 550 usecs	max hght Samples in ipp or 64Mb/sec	hght tm	hghtSmps per Km	i/o rate	height Range
10	5500	94500	9.45ms	66	40Mbyte/sec	1417
20	11000	149000	7.45ms	133	64Mbytes/sec	1117.5 km
35	19250	140750	4.02ms	233	64Mbytes/sec	603 Km
