Test and Evaluation of a Distributed Programmable Signal ProcessorMcDonnell Douglas Astronautics Company (MDAC) has developed a high performance real time, signal processor by functionally distributing both software and hardware processing components. This distributed processing architecture concept permits a single, suitably designed, microprocessing module to be interconnected to form an integrated network of processing modules. This paper describes the test and evaluation of this programmable distributed signal processor which was developed for real time processing of optical sensor data. The test methodology was structured to provide test results to evaluate: (1) the performance of individual microprocessing modules; (2) the distributed architecture concept; and (3) the overall performance of the distributed signal processor.
