Abstract
In order to improve the precision of radar target positioning, the phased array frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar system based on single-send and multiple-receive is proposed for low altitude, slow speed, small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (LSS-UAV) target. The much lower-cost passive electronically scanned array (PESA) radar technology has been employed for the azimuth electronically scanning. In addition, wide beam scanning beam of elevation direction is used to further expand the range of space coverage. Phase-comparison method is adopted to high-precision angle measurement of elevation direction in interferometer angle measurement system with dual distributed receivers. As a result, the novel radar system possesses the abilities of Doppler velocity measurement and linear FMCW distance measurement, as well as the high precision angle measurement at the same time. It can provide long distance, wide range, all-weather/time detection accurate target location information for optical system and electronic interception system to detect LSS-UAV targets for some more cost-sensitive applications in the homeland security market.
