Basic Radar Functions
Velocity is estimated by measuring the Doppler shift of the target echoes. Radar Functions :
- Detection and Tracking- Generate two-dimensional images of an area- analysis of earth resources issues such as mapping, land
use, ice cover analysis, deforestation monitoring.- “terrain following” navigation by correlating measured
imagery with stored maps.The quality of a radar system: probability of detection PD probability of false alarm PFA
- if other system parameters are fixed, increasing PD always requires accepting a higher PFA
- determined by signal-to-interference ratio (SIR)
RADAR SIGNAL PROCESSING LAB.KOREA AEROSPACE UNIV.
Radar Signal Processing Functions
- High probability of detection PD ,
Low probability of false alarm PFA
- Improve SIR by pulse integration
- Improve resolution and SIR by pulse compression
- Improve accuracy by increased SIR and “filter splitting”
interpolation methods
- Improve side lobe behavior with windowing techniques
RADAR SIGNAL PROCESSING LAB.KOREA AEROSPACE UNIV.
Basic Radar Signal Processing Functions
Radar signal processing draws on many of the same techniques- Linear filtering and statistical detection theory- Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)- Modern model-based spectral estimation - Adaptive filtering techniques (beam-forming, jammer cancellation)- Pattern recognition techniques (target/clutter discrimination)Radar signals have very high dynamic ranges of several tens of decibels, in some extreme cases approaching 100dB. Thus, gain control schemes are common, and side lobe control is often critical to avoid having weak signals masked by stronger ones. Radar signal bandwidths are larger than most other DSP applications.- some high resolution radars : several hundred MHz, and even as high as
1GHz

- coherent operation. Coherency is a stronger requirement than frequency stability.
In practice, it means that the transmitted carrier signal must have a fixed phase reference for several, perhaps many, consecutive pulses.
High-quality Coherent Receiver
RADAR SIGNAL PROCESSING LAB.KOREA AEROSPACE UNIV.
- I and Q channels have perfectly matched transfer functions over the signal bandwidth. Thus, the gain through each of the two signal paths must be identical, as must be the phase delay (electrical length) of the two channels.
- the oscillators used to demodulate the I and Q channels must be exactly in quadrature, that is, 90º out of phase with one another.
High-quality receiver design

The received signal is amplified upon reception using a low-noise amplifier
(LNA). It determines the noise figure of overall receiver.
The key figure of the superheterodyne receiver is that the modulation to
baseband occurs in two or more stages.

(signal power, frequency, polarization, angle of arrival)

BeamformingFixed beamforming
1.Form a directive gain pattern, similar to that shown in Fig. 1.6
2.The high-gain main lobe and low side lobes
- Selectively enhance the echo strength from scatterers in the antenna look
direction while suppressing the echoes from scatterers in other directions
3.Proper choice of the weights
- The main lobe can be steered to various look directions
- Tradeoff between the side lobe level and the main lobe width can be varied

Beamforming
RADAR SIGNAL PROCESSING LAB.KOREA AEROSPACE UNIV.
Pulse compression is a special case of matched filtering
Relation to high sensitivity in detecting targets and high rangeresolution• The transmitted energy increases : Target detectability improves
• The transmitted waveform’s instantaneous bandwidth increases : Range resolution improves
• Example) Constant-frequency rectangular envelope pulse as its transmitted
waveform, then the pulse is lengthened
- Increase the transmitted energy ⇒ Increasing the target detectability
- Decreases its instantaneous bandwidth ⇒ Degrading the range resolution⇒Thus, sensitivity and range resolution appear to be in conflict
with one anther
Pulse compression
RADAR SIGNAL PROCESSING LAB.KOREA AEROSPACE UNIV.
Pulse compression- Provides a way out of this dilemma by decoupling the waveform bandwidth
from its duration- Design a modulated waveform- Common choice is the linear frequency modulated (linear FM, LFM, or “chirp”)
Pulse compression
Fig 1.26 (a) Linear FM waveform modulation function, showing an increasing instantaneous frequency. (b) Output of the matched filter for the LFM waveform of (a)
RADAR SIGNAL PROCESSING LAB.KOREA AEROSPACE UNIV.
Matched filter - Designed to maximize the SNR at its output- Impulse response of the filter
: Turns out to be a replica of the transmitted waveform’s modulation function (reverse in time and conjugate)
-Thus, the impulse response is “matched” to the particular transmitted waveformmodulation
Pulse compression-A single point scatterer concentrated most of its energy in a very short duration-Thus, provide both the good range resolution and the high transmitted energy of a long pulse -The 3-dB width of the main lobe in time is approximately 1/β seconds,
where β is the instantaneous bandwidth of the waveform usedRange resolution
Pulse compression

RADAR SIGNAL PROCESSING LAB.KOREA AEROSPACE UNIV.
Clutter filtering and Doppler processingClutter filtering and Doppler processing- Improving the detectability of moving targets by suppressing interference
from clutter echoes- Based on differences in the Doppler shift of the echoes form the clutter and
from the targets of interest
Clutter filtering- Moving Target Indication, or MTI- Simply pulse-to-pulse highpass filtering of the radar echoes , which are
assumed to be due to nonmoving clutter
Doppler processing- Use of the fast Fourier transform algorithms, or occasionally some other
spectral estimation technique- Due to their different Doppler shifts, the target is detected and separated

- Produce “blips” on a screen to represent targets- Detect and track moving targets- Compute high-resolution images of a scene
Comparison of photograph and radar image•Photograph- Easier for a human to interpret and analyze
•Radar image- Monochromatic- Less detail- Exhibit a “speckled” texture- Image a scene through clouds and inclement weather due to the superior propagation of RF wavelengths
- Image equally well 24 hours a day

RADAR SIGNAL PROCESSING LAB.KOREA AEROSPACE UNIV.
1.5.5 DetectionSignal processor- Analyze the total received signal
- Determine the desirable target echo
Threshold detection- Detection of target echoes in the presence of competing interference signals is
a problem in statistical decision theory
- The technique of threshold detection is the optimal performance
- The magnitude of sample of the radar echo signal (after conditioning and
interference suppression) is compared to a precomputed threshold
signal amplitude < threshold : Interference signals only
signal amplitude > threshold : Presence of a target echo in addition to the
interference ⇒ Detection or “hit” is declared
RADAR SIGNAL PROCESSING LAB.KOREA AEROSPACE UNIV.
Detection
Fig 1.30 Illustration of threshold detection.
False alarm- A noise spike could cross the threshold, loading to a false target declaration
- False alarm is smaller ⇒ SIR is larger
RADAR SIGNAL PROCESSING LAB.KOREA AEROSPACE UNIV.
Detection
Constant-False-Alarm Rate (CFAR) detection- Limit false alarms to an acceptable rate
- The required threshold is estimated using interference statistics estimated
from the data itself
Pulse compression- The matched filter maximizes the SIR, providing the best threshold detection
performance
- Thus, the technique of pulse compression is important so that high resolution
can be obtained while maintaining good detection performance
RADAR SIGNAL PROCESSING LAB.KOREA AEROSPACE UNIV.
1.5.6 PostprocessingPostprocessing operation is referred to as data processing
Tracking- Detect the presence of targets
- Estimate the range and angle of the target
- The angle measurements are obtained using angle tracking techniques,
especially monopulse tracking
- Provide a snapshot of the target location at one instant in time
- Track filtering describes a higher-level process of integrating a series
(such measurements to compute a complete trajectory of the target motion)
