FMCW Radar Link Budget – Ideal Point Target

  • by

Radar link budget analysis is a critical process for determining the power levels throughout the radar system’s signal chain, from transmission, through propagation, to reception. The goal is to ensure that the radar can detect and track targets at the desired range. The analysis involves understanding how transmitted power is affected by various factors, such as antenna gains, propagation losses, and target characteristics, ultimately determining if the received signal is strong enough for detection.

Phase Noise

  • by

RadarSimPy offers support for simulating transmitter phase noise. By integrating measured phase noise data into the simulation module, users can assess how phase noise affects the performance of the radar system. Here’s an illustrative example of how to incorporate phase noise into the radar module.

Receiver Operating Characteristic
