Optimizing Single Sweep Range and Doppler Processing for FMCW Radar using Inverse Filtering
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss range and Doppler processing for FMCW radar using only a single pulse or frequency sweep. The first step is correlation processing, for which the range and Doppler resolution are limited by the ambiguity function. We show that this resolution can be optimized with an additional inverse filtering step. The method is demonstrated for sinusoidal FMCW radar measurements. Several regularized inverse filters were compared and the non-adaptive pseudo inverse filter gave the best results.

ISAR Imaging using Doppler Processing Algorithm for Moving Targets
Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) is used to produce high resolution imagery of non-cooperative targets by retrieving the relative motion parameters of a target with respect to a reference. This concept of estimating motion parameters is applied for obtaining cross-range resolution in ISAR imaging in which one component is produced by the relative motion between the radar and the target a...
متن کاملFMCW 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...

For an automotive pedestrian detection radar system, fast-ramp based 2D range-Doppler Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar is effective for distinguishing between moving targets and unwanted clutter. However, when a weak moving target such as a pedestrian exists together with strong clutter, the pedestrian may be masked by the side-lobe of the clutter even though they are notably se...

Bistatic frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mounts the radar transmitter and receiver on separate platforms, which offers considerable capabilities, reliability and flexibility in designing FMCW SAR missions. Moreover, the spatial separation achieves better isolation between transmission and reception channels compared with the monostatic FMCW SAR where th...
