Fundamentals of Modern mmW Radars - Brian Ginsburg, Texas Instruments | CICC 2020 | ES

ES3-4 Fundamentals of Modern mmW Radars Brian Ginsburg, Texas Instruments mm-Wave radars are a key sensor for modern automotive driver assistance systems and have emerging uses in building and factory automation, as well as human interactive motion sensing. This tutorial will cover the basic radar parameters including resolution, accuracy, and maximum range, and show how those are linked to fundamental system specifications. Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) is the dominant waveform. Detailed examples will be given of a fast chirp FMCW implementation. Finally, recent radar advances, including PMCW modulation, imaging radars, and integrated antennas will be discussed.
