Design and Implementation of a Phase-Coded Quasi-CW Radar Signal Processor

Article Preview

Abstract:

A pseudo-random phase-coded quasi-CW radar signal processor is designed,and implemented based on a parallel signal processing platform. Distance sidelobe and “echo eclipse” are two problems inherent to the phase-coded quasi-CW radar. In this paper, “Code agility” method is used to suppress the distance sidelobe, which has good performance even when the radar echo is badly eclipsed. Software of the radar signal processor is characterized by pipelined processing, and the DSP program is based on real-time operation system. Results of the field experiment verify the correctness of our design.
