Abstract The paper presents the theoretical simulation results of mmWave frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radars in multi-target mode. The speed of objects is determined by a segment of constant frequency, and the ranges are determined twice - by the first and second chirps of long duration, but with different deviations and frequency rise steepness. The method consists in the fact that the proposed functional with the correct speed-range pair has a minimum, which allows you to select the correct speed-range pair from the sets of speeds and ranges of all targets. The dependence of probability of multiple targets speed and range correct determination in the multi-target mode on the range of the FMCW radar has been investigated. The results can be used by developers to design optimized radars.

A novel non-contact vital-sign sensing algorithm for use in cases of multiple subjects is proposed. The approach uses a 24 GHz frequency-modulated continuous-wave Doppler radar with the parametric spectral estimation method. Doppler processing and spectral estimation are concurrently implemented to detect vital signs from more than one subject, revealing excellent results. The parametric spectral estimation method is utilized to clearly identify multiple targets, making it possible to distinguish multiple targets located less than 40 cm apart, which is beyond the limit of the theoretical range resolution. Fourier transformation is used to extract phase information, and the result is combined with the spectral estimation result. To eliminate mutual interference, the range integration is performed when combining the range and phase information. By considering breathing and heartbeat periodicity, the proposed algorithm can accurately extract vital signs in real time by applying an auto-regressive algorithm. The capability of a contactless and unobtrusive vital sign measurement with a millimeter wave radar system has innumerable applications, such as remote patient monitoring, emergency surveillance, and personal health care.

Abstract. A fully integrated planar sensor for 77 GHz automotive applications is presented. The frontend consists of a transceiver multichip module and an electronically steerable microstrip patch array. The antenna feed network is based on a modified Rotman-lens and connected to the array in a multilayer approach offering higher integration. Furthermore, the frontend comprises a phase lock loop to allow proper frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar operation. The latest experimental results verify the functionality of this advanced frontend design featuring automatic cruise control, precrash sensing and cut-in detection. These promising radar measurements give reason to a detailed theoretical investigation of system performance. Employing commercially available MMIC various circuit topologies are compared based on signal-tonoise considerations. Different scenarios for both sequential and parallel lobing hint to more advanced sensor designs and better performance. These improvements strongly depend on the availability of suitable MMIC and reliable packaging technologies. Within our present approach possible future MMIC developments are already considered and, thus, can be easily adapted by the flexible frontend design. Es wird ein integrierter planarer Sensor für 77 GHz Radaranwendungen vorgestellt. Das Frontend besteht aus einem Sende- und Empfangs-Multi-Chip-Modul und einer elektronisch schwenkbaren Antenne. Das Speisenetzwerk der Antenne basiert auf einer modifizierten Rotman- Linse. Für eine kompakte Bauweise sind Antenne und Speisenetzwerk mehrlagig integriert. Weiterhin umfasst das Frontend eine Phasenregelschleife für eine präzise Steuerung des frequenzmodulierten Dauerstrichradars. Die aktuellen Messergebnisse bestätigen die Funktionalit¨at dieses neuartigen Frontend-Designs, das automatische Geschwindigkeitsregelung, Kollisionswarnung sowie Nahbereichsüberwachung ermöglicht. Die Qualität der Messergebnisse hat weiterführende theoretische Untersuchungen über die potenzielle Systemleistungsfähigkeit motiviert. Unter Berücksichtigung von kommerziell erhältlichenMMICs werden verschiedene Schaltungstopologien auf der Grundlage des Signal-Rausch-Verhältnisses verglichen. Sowohl für sequenzielle als auch für parallele Ansteuerung der Antennenkeulen wird eine deutliche Leistungssteigerung ermittelt. Diese Verbesserungen hängen maßgeblich von der Verfügbarkeit geeigneter MMICs und einer zuverlässigen Aufbau- und Verbindungstechnik ab. Das vorliegende Frontend-Konzept kann auf Grund seiner Flexibilität leicht an derlei zukünftige Entwicklungen angepasst werden.

In this paper, we propose a deep learning-based indoor two-dimensional (2D) localization scheme using a 24 GHz frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar. In the proposed scheme, deep neural network and convolutional neural network (CNN) models that use different numbers of FMCW radars were employed to overcome the limitations of the conventional 2D localization scheme that is based on multilateration methods. The performance of the proposed scheme was evaluated experimentally and compared with the conventional scheme under the same conditions. According to the results, the 2D location of the target could be estimated with a proposed single radar scheme, whereas two FMCW radars were required by the conventional scheme. Furthermore, the proposed CNN scheme with two FMCW radars produced an average localization error of 0.23 m, while the error of the conventional scheme with two FMCW radars was 0.53 m.

We introduce a new principle for distance measurement in the terahertz-wave range using a resonant-tunneling-diode (RTD) oscillator as a source at 511 GHz and relying on the frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar technique. Unlike the usual FMCW radar, where the sawtooth frequency modulation is applied to the carrier, we propose applying it to a subcarrier obtained by amplitude modulation; this is advantageous when the source cannot be controlled precisely in oscillation frequency, but can easily be modulated in amplitude, as is the case of the RTD oscillator. The detailed principle and a series of proof-of-concept experimental results are presented.

AbstractIn this contribution, a composite measurement concept for the gas flow determination in diverse stream scenarios is presented. The approach utilizes the pressure- and mixing-dependent relative permittivity of gaseous media, which, in case of a vortex or a marker gas, creates a detectable variation in the measuring beam of the radar. Since the measurement effect is very small, phase measurements based on highly precise and low jitter frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar systems in different frequency bands are applied. Moreover, disturbances caused by vibrations of the measurement setup are compensated out of the measurement signal.

Recently, many automobiles adopt radar sensors to support advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) functions. As the number of vehicles with radar systems increases the probability of radar signal interference and the accompanying ghost target problems become serious. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm where we deploy per-vehicle chirp sequence in a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar to mitigate the vehicle-to-vehicle radar interference. We devise a chirp sequence set so that the slope of each vehicle’s chirp sequence does not overlap within the set. By assigning one of the chirp sequences to each vehicle, we mitigate the interference from the radar signals transmitted by the neighboring vehicles. We confirm the performance of the proposed method stochastically by computer simulation. The simulation results show that the detection and false alarm performance is improved significantly by the proposed method.

AbstractThis paper presents a novel approach for the determination of True-Speed-Over-Ground for trains. Speed determination is accomplished by correlating the received signals of two side-looking radar sensors. The theoretically achievable precision is derived. Test measurements are done in two different scenarios to give a proof of concept. Thereafter a series of field measurements is performed to rate the practical suitability of the approach. The results of the measurements are thoroughly evaluated. The test and field measurements are carried out using a 24 GHz frequency modulated continuous wave radar.
