Abstract
In a binary phase shift keying (BPSK)-based multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar system, real and ghost targets are detected simultaneously, causing ambiguity in target detection. In this paper, we define the targets that are inevitably generated by the BPSK modulation as ghost targets and propose a method for suppressing them. The proposed ghost target suppression method consists of two main steps. First, at the receiving end, a received signal is demodulated using a specific code orthogonal to binary codes used to modulate transmitted signals. With the orthogonality between the codes, only ghost targets remain in the demodulated received signal. Then, by subtracting the demodulated signal including the ghost targets from the initially received signal, only the information of the actual targets can be restored. We verify the performance of the proposed method through simulations and actual signal measurements. In addition, the target estimation performance of the proposed method is compared with that of the time-division multiplexing MIMO FMCW radar system.
