A Clutter Rejection Technique Using a Delay-Line for Wall-Penetrating FMCW Radar
Summary :
This paper proposes a high clutter-rejection technique for wall-penetrating frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar. FMCW radars are widely used, as they moderate the receiver saturation problem in wall-penetrating applications by attenuating short-range clutter such as wall-clutter. However, conventional FMCW radars require a very high-order high-pass filter (HPF) to attenuate short-range clutter. A delay-line (DL) is exploited to overcome this problem. Time-delay shifts beat frequencies formed by reflection waves. This means that a proper time-delay increases the ratio of target-beat frequency to clutter-beat frequency. Consequently, low-order HPF fully attenuates short-range clutter. A third-order HPF rejects more than 20 dB and 30 dB for clutter located at 6 m and 3 m, respectively, with a target located at 9 m detection with a 10,000 GHz/s chirp rate and a 28 ns delay-line.
