Abstract :
A high accuracy experimental platform for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) PN radar performance evaluation has been created. This PN radar platform could be used for the applications such as unmanned aerial-vehicle anti-collision and short-range distance measurement etc [3]. It includes compact size X-band radar transceiver, baseband signal processing in FPGA, high speed analog to digital converter (ADC), and Matlab tools. PN radar has high accuracy within detection range. This paper presents a method to detect the presence of a target within a specified range. Speed and accuracy are two important evaluation indicators in target detecting system. The present work generally relates to a radar system and more particularly, to improve range resolution and minimum detection time.
