Patent EP-1397698-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MATTOX BARRY G
IPC: G01S17/34
Filed: 2002-05-14
Abstract: In a homodyne-receiver radar system used for ranging and/or target detection, the frequency-modulated (FM) transmit phase is removed from the received signal (Rx). Removal of the known FM transmit phase from the received signal (110) reduces the bandwidth of the received signal to half that of a system that does not remove the transmit phase. This allows the sampling rate, and thus the processor throughput, to be cut in half. With the FM transmit phase removed, the phase sequence of the processed signal is akin to a delayed version of the transmit signal phase history. This allows the range processing to use segments of a single phase sequence for processing all range gates (112), resulting in a large reduction in the amount of coefficient storage used for the matched-phase sequences required to process the set of range gates.
