Sweep generation for FMCW radar applications

Especially for the long distance Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave(FMCW) radar applications, the non linear frequency sweep due to the Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO) results in range resolution degradation. Open loop control solutions like Voltage Pre-Distortion method are not adequate for the applications like FMCW Radar Altimeter because of the noisy and non-stationary structure of th...

Fmcw Based Mimo Imaging Radar

There are a number of potential applications for low cost short range phased array radar sensors: ship bumpers, large vehicle sensors and level crossing obstacle detection for example. Phased arrays have the benefit of reduced size and the elimination of moving parts compared with more traditional rotating antenna systems. Another potential benefit is that the image update rate can be orders of...

FMCW Radar Performance for Atmospheric Measurements

Frequency-modulated continuous-wave radars (FMCW) have been used in the investigation of the atmosphere since the late 1960’s. FMCW radars provide tremendous sensitivity and spatial resolution compared to their pulsed counterparts and are therefore attractive for clear-air remote-sensing applications. However, these systems have some disadvantages and performance limitations that have prevented...
