Abstract
An efficient demodulation method designed for FMCW (Frequency‐Modulated Continuous Wave) radar is presented. It is a kind of modified DFT (IDFT) algorithm; the spectrum segment of interest can be easily extracted from the original signal without calculating the whole DFT/FFT. It provides fast demodulation and extraction of desired frequency bands in our HFSWR (High‐Frequency Surface Wave Radar) system. The proposed approach enhances the performances of radar system and reduces the computing complexity. The new structure could also be inversely used for signal modulation. And also arbitrary sampling rate conversion could be achieved with the combination of forward and backward structure.
Highlights
FMCW is a radar system where a known stable frequency continuous wave radio energy is modulated by a triangular modulation signal so that it varies gradually and mixes with the signal reflected from a target object with this transmit signal to produce a beat signal
With the advent of modern electronics, the use of Digital Signal Processing is used for most detection processing
The beat signals are passed through an Analog-to-Digital converter, and digital processing is performed on the result [1]
