:The in house designed digital receiver / signal processing systems used in the CSU-CHILL and Pawnee radars continued to be tested and refined during 2007. (They were initially fielded on both radars during the summer of 2006). CSU-CHILL operations were suspended in July 2007 to prepare the Greeley radar site for the installation of the new dual offset feed antenna. | :The in house designed digital receiver / signal processing systems used in the CSU-CHILL and Pawnee radars continued to be tested and refined during 2007.
