Abstract
- Multicarrier waveforms such as orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) found their way into radar applications in the last few years. However, currently, typically only a fraction of the large baseband bandwidth required to obtain high resolution is available in practice due to hardware limitations. In this paper, we propose a frequency-agile sparse OFDM radar processing that allows the transmission of consecutive bandwidth-reduced OFDM pulses on different carriers, and thereby covering a much larger measurement bandwidth in a measurement frame. Through joint processing of multiple narrowband pulses and compressed sensing methods, high resolution and unambiguity in the joint range-velocity profile are obtained comparable to an equivalent wideband OFDM. It shows that a baseband bandwidth of 20% of the full channel bandwidth is sufficient to reliably obtain the same result as for an equivalent wideband OFDM signal. The proposed processing scheme is validated using simulations and radar measurements at 77 GHz. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
