Abstract

An architecture for a direct-downconversion complex correlation interferometric radar capable of the direct, joint measurement of angle and angular velocity of a point-target is presented. Due to the simplicity of the system, this technique can be implemented on existing radars with distributed receivers and a transmitter capable of frequency modulation. Derivations for the interferometric measurement of angle and angular velocity and guidelines for the design of such a system are presented. Simulations are provided for the proposed system with varying pulse-width, antenna baseline, and pulse center frequency. The results for all simulations show a low root-mean-square error which demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed system.
