Abstract

A high accuracy experimental platform for X-band PN radar performance evaluation has been created in our research lab. This PN radar platform could be used for the applications such as unmanned-aerial-vehicle anti-collision, and short-range distance measurement etc. It includes compact size X-band radar transceiver, baseband signal processing in FPGA, high speed analog to digital converter (ADC), arbitrary waveform generator (AWG), and Matlab Simulink tools. Our measurement result shows this PN radar has high accuracy within detection range. The detected range error is 0.082 m. The radar carrier frequency is 9.5 GHz.
