[IEEE 2018 IEEE Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference (A-SSCC) - Tainan, Taiwan (2018.11.5-2018.11.7)] 2018 IEEE Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference (A-SSCC) - A CMOS 76-81 GHz 2TX 3RX FMCW Radar Transceiver Based on Mixed-Mode PLL Chirp Generator
摘要： A fully integrated 76-81 GHz frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar transceiver (TRX) in 65nm CMOS is presented. Two transmitters (TXs) and three receivers (RXs) are integrated for MIMO processing. A 38.5 GHz mixed-mode PLL with reconfigurable loop bandwidth and frequency doubling scheme are employed to generate the reconfigurable FMCW chirp waveforms. Passive voltage-mode down-conversion is utilized to improve the RX linearity against TX leakage. A bottom-switching PA is proposed to realize the Bi-Phase modulation, and the magnetically-coupled resonator technique is used to effectively expand the link bandwidth. Measurement results show that the FMCW TRX could generate reconfigurable chirps with the bandwidth from 250 MHz to 4 GHz and the period from 600 us to 10 ms. The root-mean-square (RMS) frequency error is less than 251 kHz. The TX maximum output power is 13.4 dBm and is adjustable within 3 dB by reconfiguring its LDO output voltage. The RX achieves 15.3 dB noise figure and -8.5 dBm RF input-referred PldB. Real-time experiments are carried out using the proposed TRX chip, in which the measured average distance error is 10 cm. The overall power consumption is 921mW with 2-TXs and 3-RXs powered on.

摘要： Frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) are nowadays frequently exploited for producing electro-magnetic images of the earth surface. In this paper, we present first ground moving target indication (GMTI) results of the 2016 campaign with the FMCW airborne system MIRANDA-35, and quantify the overall performances. More precisely, two specific operating modes, namely the along-track interferometry (ATI) and exo-clutter processing (EXO), are discussed in more detail. The system proved to be capable of providing GMTI products with reliable detection rates and acceptable false alarm rates.

Leakage Mitigation in Heterodyne FMCW Radar for Small Drone Detection With Stationary Point Concentration Technique
摘要： To prevent potential hazards posed by fast-evolving drones, it is of importance to develop a radar system for drone detection. Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radars are widely used for that purpose. Heterodyne architectures are preferred for them to mitigate dc offset errors. Having said that, FMCW radars suffer from permanent leakage from the transmitter into the receiver. The leakage phase noise raises the total noise floor and limits the radar sensitivity. Here, we propose a stationary point concentration (SPC) technique in order to overcome the challenges. The SPC technique concentrates the leakage phase noise on a stationary point to alleviate the impact of the noise. The technique can be realized using digital signal processing without additional hardware. The results show that the proposed technique significantly lowers the noise floor.

摘要： The presence of phase noise (PN) severely deteriorates the sensitivity and range of frequency-modulated continuous wave radar systems. Thus, characterization and continuous monitoring of the PN is indispensable, and its estimation is often employed directly on chip. Although many contributions investigate methods for PN estimation, almost all of them consider a continuous-wave (CW) input signal. Differently, in this paper, we aim to estimate the PN from a linear frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signal. For that, we propose two methods utilizing a so-called artificial on-chip target and further digital signal processing. These methods are evaluated in real-time and are the first-known solutions to determine PN estimates during the operation of an FMCW radar transceiver. We prove our methods with both simulation and measurement results from a hardware prototype. Further, we present techniques to efficiently realize the concepts in digital hardware. Finally, we compare and trade off the proposed methods against computational complexity and performance. The novel techniques may be applied to arbitrary input frequencies and bandwidths, and do not require a reference-clock input.

摘要： A major drawback of frequency modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar systems is the permanent leakage from the transmit into the receive path. Besides leakage within the radar device itself, signal reflections from a fixed object in front of the antennas additionally introduce so-called short-range (SR) leakage. It causes a strong degradation of detection sensitivity due to the unavoidable phase noise of the transmit oscillator. In this work, we introduce an artificial on-chip target (OCT) to mitigate the SR leakage. The OCT consists of a delay line whose time delay is significantly smaller than the round-trip delay time of the SR leakage. This is motivated by the fact that in integrated circuits for automotive radar applications operating at 77 GHz delay lines in the range of only a few picoseconds can be realized with a reasonable amount of circuitry. Despite this constraint, we show that the proposed method achieves almost perfect cancelation of the SR leakage. The concept is based on the cross-correlation properties of the residual phase noise in the intermediate frequency (IF) domain. Further, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in an FMCW radar system simulation. It almost perfectly shows that a gain in sensitivity of approximately 6 dB is achieved, compensating for the performance degradation caused by the SR leakage. The novel leakage cancelation concept is carried out mainly in the digital domain enabling high flexibility and adaptivity.

Sparse Scene Recovery for High-Resolution Automobile FMCW SAR via Scaled Compressed Sensing
摘要： This paper introduces a sparse scene reconstruction algorithm for automobile frequency-modulated continuous-wave synthetic aperture radar (FMCW SAR) through scaled compressed sensing (CS). An FMCW radar leads to low manufacturing cost, compact realization, and low transmission power. An automobile SAR is more economical and easier to implement than typical SAR platforms (e.g., satellites and aircraft). We apply CS to randomly subsampled raw data of automobile FMCW SAR for sparse reconstruction. We exploit the fact that the velocity of an automobile is significantly lower than that of the SAR platforms, which leads to a vastly narrow bandwidth of an azimuth-matched filter in the azimuth compression of the range-Doppler algorithm (RDA). Low-frequency azimuth data have a fundamental effect on azimuth compression. We propose a new reconstruction scheme, scaled CS, which specializes in low-frequency information recovery for automobile SAR. The scheme is based on basis pursuit denoising (BPDN). A Ku-band FMCW SAR system is developed to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm. We mount our system on an automobile and collect FMCW SAR raw data in the stripmap mode with a van maintained a constant speed on a highway. The proposed reconstruction algorithm shows improved recovery performance for automobile FMCW SAR, which is validated by processing a high-resolution real SAR image.
