The problem I see is how to process a stream of samples @ 250Msps using a processor @180MHz.The FPGA should at least perform a downconversion.

Hi Yash5,Not only you can use an FPGA but you have to!The AD9601 is a 200/250 Msps ADC, and the max clock rate of the stm32f429 is apparently 180MHz.So you have...

Yes. Your Tx signal impinging on your Rx is very powerful compared to the signal coming back from the targets.

Yes, because this is the optimal way to behave in that case.
Hi Sumit,I think that the MRC isHence, when one branch is not available, its channel estimate is 0.Let say h2 is null, the equation reduces to:
