Abstract :
This paper describes an improved frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) multi-port technique, for short-range detection, intended to be used in low-cost automotive radar applications, at 77 GHz. The simultaneous range detection using two different detection procedures yields not just an increased accuracy and extended range capabilities, but a significant reduction of false alarm rate (FAR). CW mode provides increased solving capabilities in Doppler domain.
