Projects:2020s1-1231 Radar Waveform Design

Abstract here

Introduction

This project will study the performance of several advanced digital binary and polyphase waveforms and compare their performance to unmodulated pulses and linear FM pulses with comparable time-bandwidth products. Comparisons will be made in terms of key performance metrics, including sidelobe levels, Doppler tolerance, resolution, performance in the presence of noise and EM interference. This study will initially be carried out using theoretical simulations, with the findings then verified using a software-defined dual channel transceiver.

Objectives

Creating radar waveform using Matlab to understand the basic principals.

Background

Radar is an acronym of Radio Detection and Ranging and the system emits EM waves. The basic principle of the radar system is to find and position a target and determine the distance between the target and transmitting antenna.
