Synthesis of Short-Range FM Radars with General Modulations

A closed-form relationship is developed relating the range response, FM modulation, and demodulation functions for short-range FM radars such that, given two of the functions, the third may be determined. Synthesis and analysis techniques using the relation apply to a class of FM radars including both single- and dual-channel (directionalDoppler) systems with either deterministic or stochastis modulations. It is shown that any band-limited (BL) response may be obtained with few qualifications. Sample computations and simulation examples are included.
