High-range resolution radar for the identification of approaching targets: effects of parameters and measurements

With radar signals without compression, the resolution is fixed by the pulse lengths. For short targets, the scatterers are closely spaced and their echoes overlap making them indistinguishable. To overcome this, an algorithm based on the MUSIC algorithm was developed and simulations have shown the improvement on the radar´s range resolution. In the present work, we have carried on with the simulations to estimate the effects of the most important parameters needed by the algorithm and we have made measurements to demonstrate the possible use of the method in the real world
