Time analysis and processing of FM-CW signals
conference paper
Combining frequency modulated continuous wave (FM-CW) teehnology with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) methods leads to a cost-effective, high resolution imaging radar for smallscale applications. There is a growing interest in miniaturized versions of such sysfems. The radar delivers its output in the frequency domain rather then in the time domain so speca/ processing algorithm, which accounts for the typical characteristics of FM-CW radar has to be used. A time domain analysis of a FM-CW SAR signal is derived and a first processrng algorithm is presented.
