Abstract

A correlation interferometer working with a cooperation target operating at 2.2GHz center frequency is presented. This simplified interferometer presented here uses a lock-in amplifier to significantly increase system sensitivity when used in conjunction with a co-operating target signaling using amplitude modulation. The system is verified by detecting the angular velocity of passing tagged target. Experimental results show detectable range up over 110 meters in a multipath environment using a 10dBm EIRP tag.
