Leakage Mitigation in Heterodyne FMCW Radar for Small Drone Detection With Stationary Point Concentration Technique
摘要： To prevent potential hazards posed by fast-evolving drones, it is of importance to develop a radar system for drone detection. Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radars are widely used for that purpose. Heterodyne architectures are preferred for them to mitigate dc offset errors. Having said that, FMCW radars suffer from permanent leakage from the transmitter into the receiver. The leakage phase noise raises the total noise floor and limits the radar sensitivity. Here, we propose a stationary point concentration (SPC) technique in order to overcome the challenges. The SPC technique concentrates the leakage phase noise on a stationary point to alleviate the impact of the noise. The technique can be realized using digital signal processing without additional hardware. The results show that the proposed technique significantly lowers the noise floor.

摘要： Dynamic hand gesture recognition is very important for human-computer interaction. In vehicles, hand gesture recognition can be used as the driver's auxiliary system to achieve remote control of the instrument. To a certain extent, this system can avoid physical buttons and touch screens causing interference to the driver. In this paper, we describe a driver-assisted dynamic gesture recognition system to classify nine hand gestures based on micro-Doppler signatures obtained by 77GHz FMCW radar using a convolutional neural network (CNN). We further explore the changes in the accuracy of same gestures in a variety of experimental scenarios to help optimize the robustness of the system.

A 65 nm 19.1-to-20.4 GHz Sigma-Delta Fractional-N Frequency Synthesizer with Two-Point Modulation for FMCW Radar Applications
摘要： A 19.1-to-20.4 GHz sigma-delta fractional-N frequency synthesizer with two-point modulation (TPM) for frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar applications is presented. The FMCW synthesizer proposes a digital and voltage controlled oscillator (D/VCO) with large continuous frequency tuning range and small digital controlled oscillator (DCO) gain variation to support TPM. By using TPM technique, it avoids the correlation between loop bandwidth and chirp slope, which is beneficial to fast chirp, phase noise and linearity. The start frequency, bandwidth and slope of the FMCW signal are all reconfigurable independently. The FMCW synthesizer achieves a measured phase noise of ?93.32 dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset from a 19.25 GHz carrier and less than 10 μs locking time. The root-mean-square (RMS) frequency error is only 112 kHz with 94 kHz/μs chirp slope, and 761 kHz with a fast slope of 9.725 MHz/μs respectively. Implemented in 65 nm CMOS process, the synthesizer consumes 74.3 mW with output buffer.

摘要： We present the first demonstration of a thermal-noise-limited 95 GHz frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) Doppler radar with high (1 Watt) transmit power and long-range Doppler detection capabilities. The 95 GHz radar is part of (Gas And Ice Spectrometer/Radar) instrument to probe the dynamics and distribution of cometary jets and plumes in icy bodies in the solar system. Radar measurements were carried out using a variety of targets at different range and velocities, such as freeway cars, clouds, rain and hillsides, to test the range and Doppler capabilities. The compact design (a single 15 cm diameter primary antenna), and high quality data presented in this paper makes this 95 GHz FMCW radar uniquely suitable for future space missions for Planetary and Earth Science applications.

摘要： In the study of frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar, it is difficult to complete an experiment with application-specific radars, since adapting their parameters bring much cost and time-consuming work. To address this problem, this paper presents an efficient and automated FMCW radar experimental platform. As a control center, a computer is integrated with a programmable transmitter, a programmable receiver and RF components in the platform. This platform can flexibly configure the parameters of the FMCW signal and realize automatic transmission, reception and signal processing in an automated and efficient way. The effectiveness of the platform is demonstrated by a laboratory experiment.

摘要： A major drawback of frequency modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar systems is the permanent leakage from the transmit into the receive path. Besides leakage within the radar device itself, signal reflections from a fixed object in front of the antennas additionally introduce so-called short-range (SR) leakage. It causes a strong degradation of detection sensitivity due to the unavoidable phase noise of the transmit oscillator. In this work, we introduce an artificial on-chip target (OCT) to mitigate the SR leakage. The OCT consists of a delay line whose time delay is significantly smaller than the round-trip delay time of the SR leakage. This is motivated by the fact that in integrated circuits for automotive radar applications operating at 77 GHz delay lines in the range of only a few picoseconds can be realized with a reasonable amount of circuitry. Despite this constraint, we show that the proposed method achieves almost perfect cancelation of the SR leakage. The concept is based on the cross-correlation properties of the residual phase noise in the intermediate frequency (IF) domain. Further, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in an FMCW radar system simulation. It almost perfectly shows that a gain in sensitivity of approximately 6 dB is achieved, compensating for the performance degradation caused by the SR leakage. The novel leakage cancelation concept is carried out mainly in the digital domain enabling high flexibility and adaptivity.
