A novel multi-target detection algorithm for automotive FMCW radar

摘要

In automotive radar systems resolution of each target in multi-target environment is necessary. A conventional FMCW radar which transmits and receives triangular waves, does not effectively remove the ghost-targets which arise in the process of Doppler-range localization process. Using a sophisticated waveform design can help removing the ghost-targets, however, there remains many of them. In this paper, we propose a novel ghost-target removal algorithm using the inter-relationship between the upbeat and downbeat frequency after the Fast Fourier Transform(FFT).
