Experimental Proof of the Characteristics of Short-Range FM Radar Converted Signal Spectrum for a Smooth Surface

Deniss Brodņevs, Igors Smirnovs

Abstract


This paper presents a natural experiment of the spectral processing of 4.3 GHz Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave Radar (FMCWR) converted signal. The FMCWR antennas are fixed above a smooth reflective surface. The converted signal spectrum is theoretically calculated and compared with the experimental data.

Keywords:
Converted signal spectral processing; frequency modulated continuous wave radar (FMCWR); mirror reflection; smooth reflective surface
