Abstract :
In this study, a protocol for an unbiased analysis of radar signals´ performance. Using a novel UWB software-defined radar, range profile, Doppler profile and detection range are evaluated for both Linear Frequency Modulated pulse and Multitones. The radar was prototyped and is comparable in overall performance to software defined radar test-beds found in the literature. The measured performance was in agreement with the simulations.
