3 FM cw Radar FM cw Radar is a low cost technique, often used in shorter range applications Applications include, altimetry for aircraft landing, speed guns, laboratory test instruments, education, runway debris monitoring, avalanche detection, volcano eruption onset and many more The technology is simple to fabricate but requires care to obtain high accuracy The technique has the same conceptual basis as pulse compression and high resolution
4 FM cw Radar (FMCW) is a radar system where a frequency modulated signal is mixed with an echo from a target to produce a beat signal. The time delay is a measure of the range. Digital Signal Processing is used for most detection processing. The beat signals are passed through an Analog to Digital converter and then digital processing is performed. FM-CW radars can be built with one antenna using either a circulator, or circular polarization. Most modern systems use one transmitter antenna and multiple receiver antennas. Because the transmitter is on continuously at effectively the same frequency as the receiver, special care must be exercised to avoid overloading the receiver stages
5 The FM cw radar - principle frequency two - way propagation delay t = 2r c Δf transmitted signal echo Δt frequency difference 2r Δf 2Δf =. =. r c Δt cδt time See: Stove, A.G., Linear FMCW radar techniques, IEE Proc, Pt.F, Vol.139, No.5, pp , October 1992.
6 The FM cw radar - principle (a) f!f transmitted chirp!t = 2r c target echo (b) t beat frequency f 2 =!f.(!t - ) =!f - f1!t!f!f 2r f 1 =. =.!t!t c t (c) P(f)!t - 1!t - 1!!t 1 f 1 f 2 beat frequency spacing of spectra 1 lines =!t
7 The FM cw radar- resolution The range and range resolution are given, as before, by R = c!t 2 and!r = c!t 2 Substituting for!t we have c!t! f!f However, frequency resolution is determined by the time interval used, therefore!r = c!t!f!t = c 2!f I.e. just as we had for pulse compression of a linear FM waveform but with the importance difference that we now only have to sample at the beat frequency and not the full bandwidth.
8 A schematic design for an FMCW radar frequency chirp generator circulator time spectrum analyser Frequency differences are obtained via a mixer and displayed on a spectrum analyzer. A circulator provides isolation between the transmitted and received signals. An alternative would be the use of two antennas.
9 The simplicity of this technique has meant that it has been used from the earliest days of radar ionosphere r h transmitter (Bournemouth) d receiver (Oxford) t = 2r c d h = c t ctd 2 Appleton, E.V. and Barnett, M.A.F., On some direct evidence for downward atmospheric reflection of electric rays, Proc. Roy. Soc., Vol.109, pp , December (experiments at end of 1924)
10 The FM cw Radar equation The standard form of the radar equation is: Pr P n = PG ( 4π ) λσ 2 2 t rktbf The bandwidth of the spectrum analysis processing will be matched to the sweep duration. The appropriate value of B is therefore the reciprocal of the sweep duration 1/ΔT rather than the sweep bandwidth Δf. This gives a processing gain equal to the time-bandwidth product of the waveform, just as with conventional pulse compression.!
11 Equivalence of FM radar and pulse compression Pulse compression! The chirp is matched filtered in the receiver using the complex conjugate of the transmitted signal to yield the point target response power power time time H(f) H * (f) frequency time transmitter receiver power frequency FMCW processing! FM radar yields the same response but in the frequency domain time H(f) time transmitter power frequency frequency receiver time
12 Interrupted FM cw Radar (Fmicw) frequency tx time LO transmit chirp generator trigger LO chirp generator spectrum analyser tracker processor Allows operation at longer ranges. A separate local oscillator with the same sweep rate is triggered at the right moment. The sweep and repetition rate are arranged so the the transmission and reception are interleaved thus improving isolation.
13 Moving targets We know that echoes from a target with radial velocity v will have a Doppler shift 2vf0 fd = c The frequency of the echo sweep will therefore be offset, leading to a delay error Δ t = which is a range error f D T B cδt Δ r = = 2 Tf0v B This can be corrected using a triangular (rather than saw-tooth) frequency sweep. In fact it can be exploited so that both Doppler and range information can be extracted.!
14 Moving targets frequency τ = 2r c f D = 2vf c 0 Doppler-shifted echo transmitted chirp time beat frequency f B = f +τ T 1 D f B = f τ T 2 D time f + f f1 f2 B 2Br = fd = τ = 2 T ct Doppler information can be extracted, unambiguously by taking the difference and sum of the two beat frequencies.

17 Linear FM Waveform and Point Target Response The chirp bandwidth is 220 MHz, the chirp time length is 40 micro-seconds and the sweep repetition interval is 440 micro-seconds

19 Phase and Amplitude Errors Phase and amplitude errors will degrade radar performance. They generate paired echoes which manifest as side-lobes. Phase errors give rise to frequency modulation and amplitude errors to amplitude modulation. The phase error may be expressed as a Fourier series and the effect of each term analyzed separately. Each term produces pairs of echoes. Large errors can be tolerated if they vary only slowly with frequency. Correction is possible but the errors can only be suppressed not removed.
20 Sweep nonlinearities The effect of amplitude and phase errors in a conventional pulse compression radar was evaluated by Klauder et al. in 1960, analyzing the distortion by means of a Fourier series and showing that each term resulted in paired echo range side-lobes. This allows the maximum permissible phase or amplitude error to be evaluated for a given range side-lobe level. The situation with an FM radar is different, though, and depends on target range - intuitively one can see that at zero range sweep nonlinearities will completely cancel.

21 dc response If an undistorted linear FM pulse is mixed with a delayed version of itself the beat frequency is a pure sinusoid. If this is phase detected against a coherent sinusoid of the same frequency a constant DC level will result. If there is any phase distortion present it wonʼt be a pure sinusoid and the output of the phase detector is proportional to the distortion. This can be displayed on an oscilloscope and corrected in real time.

23 Synthetic Aperture Processing with FM Radar Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is able to produce imagery with high resolution in two dimensions. Imagery in this form has many applications The FM technique lends itself well to use in this way via extraction of both range and Doppler information. The radar is moved to synthesize a large aperture. The beat frequency is digitized and Fourier transformed to provide range information as a series of range bins. For each range bin Fourier transformation over a sequence of sweep cycles yields a Doppler signature for a particular Azimuth target position. I.e. the cross-range information.
24 Synthetic Aperture Processing with FM Radar x radar r P target r 0 Δ r r ( x ) = ( r 0 + Δ r ) 2 + x 2 1 / 2 = ( r + Δ r ) 1 + x 2 1 / 2 0 ( r + Δ r ) 2 0 = ( r + Δ r ) x ( r + Δ r ) f o r x < < ( r + Δ r ) ( r 0 + Δ r ) + 2 r 0 x 2 f o r Δ r < < r 0
25 Synthetic aperture processing with FM radar It should not be surprising that synthetic aperture processing also works with FM radars The frequency of the beat signal is proportional to target range, but the sequence is modulated by a quadratic variation of phase (= linear variation of Doppler frequency) The processing is therefore carried out in two stages: firstly an FFT to extract the range information for each echo, then aperture synthesis on the sequence of echoes - r 0! 2 m = - N m = -1 m = 0 m = 1 f D m = N + r 0! 2 x The example opposite shows the sequence of echoes from a point target for unfocused synthetic aperture
