Study of Ranging System Using Pseudo-Random Continuous Wave Signal

Pseudo-random signal has potential value as ranging system’s signal since it has noise-like character, excellent autocorrelation and large time bandwidth character. The theory of the ranging system based on pseudo-random signal and how system works will be introduced in detail in this paper. We learned that the quality of signal generated by pseudo-random signal generator is very good through observing frequency domain chart, autocorrelation chart and time domain chart of signal. Quite accurate result can be got through dealing with experiment dates. It turned out that pseudo-random signal can be applied efficiently in ranging system and accuracy is quite high in field experiment.
