Abstract :
In this study, we apply a protocol for an unbiased analysis of radar signals´ performances. Using an experimental UWB software-defined radar, range profile, Doppler profile and detection range are evaluated for both Liner 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 performances are in agreement with the simulations.
