Abstract

Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar is a solution for range and velocity measurement of a target. This paper introduces a simulation methodology for a RF front-end transceiver of a FMCW radar system including the target model. The proposed system model can incorporate realistic design conditions such as voltage controlled oscillator phase noise. The methodology has been applied to a 2. 45 GHz FMCW radar with a single antenna for transmitting and receiving waves using Advanced Design System (ADS) simulation package from Agilent. Various values of target range and velocity are employed in the simulated model to verify the operation of the FMCW radar system. The proposed simulation model has been proven to be a useful tool in the design of FMCW radar systems. The system model is used to conclude some general guidelines to help the system designer.
