Abstract

A multi-purpose software-configurable range radar which deploys composite frequency modulation continuous wave (FMCW) and spread spectrum (SS) measurement techniques is proposed and described in this work. The FMCW radar technique is used to find the range of the target whereas the spread spectrum signal is transmitted to measure distance and velocity in the scenario of strong interference. The adaptive algorithm applies to the software configurable radar. An S-band prototype system is demonstrated and described. Our measurements have validated the software-configurable radar system.
