Abstract :
We derive a complex non-linear optimal signal processing algorithm for estimating target reflection ranges from a set of frequency-stepped CW measurements. We demonstrate the performance of this algorithm using synthetic FSCW data through comparisons with the IFFT and the real version of the optimal signal processing algorithm.<>
