Abstract

For designing UWB-SRR detectors we must understand the required design parameters and specific algorithm for target detection. In this paper, we optimize the parameters such as the number of coherent integration, pulse repetition interval, Doppler frequency resolution and FFT measurement time of UWB Short Range Radars for measuring the relative velocity of the target in automobile applications. The proposed detector with optimized parameters can measure the target minimum relative velocity of about 6.99 km/hr in very short measurement time. The minimum number of FFT points required to process Doppler Frequency by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is 32 points. The detection is based on one transmitted pulse against a background of white Gaussian noise (WGN). The performance of the proposed detector with optimized parameters is analyzed and simulation has been done in order to verify.
