Millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar is widely used in vehicles for applications such as adaptive cruise control and collision avoidance. In this paper, we propose an IEEE 802.11ad-based radar for long-range radar (LRR) applications at the 60 GHz unlicensed band. We exploit the preamble of a single-carrier (SC) physical layer (PHY) frame, which consists of Golay complementary sequences with good corr...

This thesis concerns the design of transmitter-receiver chains for wideband radar systems. The transmitter side employs one, or several, highly flexible signal generators, which are able to generate signals with a large bandwidth. At the receiver side, when we are are able to select receiver filters, we have the freedom to optimize also the receiver filters. Herein, the transmit waveforms and r...

In a conventional radar receiver errors are introduced due to mismatch between the ADCs and gain and phase mismatch in the I/Q demodulation. By performing the I/Q demodulation in the digital domain some of these errors are alleviated. In this paper several different filter structures suitable for digital I/Q demodulation are evaluated. Three different structures for such a digital down converte...

We have developed a high-temperature superconducting (HTS) filter with narrow bandwidth characteristic for receiver of weather radar in order to reduce interference between adjacent radar channels. To realize a filter with which a narrow bandwidth and low insertion loss are compatible, resonators with high unloaded Q (Qu) value are required. Hairpin microstrip resonators with 1.5 times waveleng...

Here we present a Continuous Wave radar receiver with a digital noise cancellation circuit. The leakage signal is cancelled by the mixer/PLL followed by an analog low pass filter also works as anti aliasing filter for the Ato-D. The digital signal processing after A-to-D cancels the analog thermal noise from front end which is mathematically AWGN in nature. We assume synchronous CDMA transmissi...

Modern missile seekers invariably employ monopulse radar with phase locked loop (PLL) as a frequency (angle) tracking subsystem in the receiver. The frequency locking and/or unlocking of these receivers can be achieved either by introducing imperfections in the monopulse design or using multiple repeater sources. In the present paper, the break-lock of PLL synthesizer in the monopulse radar rec...
