Abstract :
Two OFDM radar algorithms (the Maximum Likelihood and a MUSIC-based algorithm) are introduced and their fundamental limits concerning accuracy are explained. To simplify the analysis, we research the special case of only one target in the radar´s detection range, which facilitates the individual effects on the estimation quality. Through simulations, we can show that OFDM radar works well for this case.
