3 Nonlinear Radar Concept Tx electronic target Rx Target presence/location is indicated by receiving frequencies that were not transmitted. Applications: locate personal electronics during emergencies detect electronically-triggered devices Advantages: It is easier to separate targets from clutter because most clutter is linear. Disadvantages: Targets require high incident power to drive them into non-linear behavior. Received responses are usually very weak compared to the transmitted probe signals. 3
4 Nonlinear Radar Research Tx Rx one possible signal path: E in E refl... LNA BPF We view each target as a collection of RF nonlinearities. 4
5 Nonlinear Radar Research Tx Rx Which frequencies and waveforms are best to transmit? What is the minimum transmit power required for detection? How should the transmitter be designed to achieve high linearity? How should the receiver be designed to achieve high sensitivity? Can traditional (linear) radar techniques be used to perform ranging & imaging? How should the signal processor be designed to recognize familiar targets? 5

14 Intermodulation Radar: Measurements [7,8] Detection and ranging may be performed using intermodulation only (Rx in the same band as Tx frequencies). 14
15 Linearization by Time-Multiplexed Spectrum LITMUS: (1) lower the Tx waveform peak-to-average ratio (2) amplify the Tx waveform (3) restore the original peak-to-average ratio [9] Self-generated intermodulation masks weak target responses. Linearize the transmitter. Improve detection for over-the-air tests (higher self-generated products, weaker targets). 15
