This diploma thesis deals with the design and implementation of a digital signal processing chain for a secondary radar receiver on an FPGA. The theoretical part describes the principles of radar systems used in civil aviation, the properties of Mode S signals, and possible architectures of the receiver chain. In the practical part, a simulation model of the receiver chain is first created in Python. This model is used to verify the behaviour of the signal in the individual processing stages. Subsequently, the configuration of the ADS42JB46 A/D converter and the LMK04828 clock generator is designed. The main part of the thesis focuses on the implementation and comparison of different variants of the DDC chain in the FPGA, including digital mixing, filtering, generation of I/Q components, and calculation of amplitude and phase. The resulting variants are analysed and compared in terms of functionality and accuracy. Finally, the functionality of the proposed chain is verified by measuring a real signal received by an antenna and subsequently decoding the captured data.
