Implementation of a Simple Pulse Doppler Radar System

This document discusses the implementation of a simple pulse Doppler radar system and basic range-matched filter banks. We further explore hardware and software component selection for building such systems, including key parameters like pulse repetition frequency (PRF) calculations and Doppler processing algorithms. The discussion covers fundamental principles and applications of pulse Doppler radar technology, emphasizing the critical role of range-matched filters in signal-to-noise ratio improvement through correlation-based processing. Implementation considerations include optimizing system performance via enhanced signal processing algorithms (e.g., Fast Fourier Transform for Doppler analysis) and multi-antenna array configurations for spatial diversity. The content provides comprehensive insights into pulse Doppler radar systems and range-matched filter banks, facilitating better understanding and practical application of these technologies through MATLAB/Python-based simulation examples involving waveform generation, matched filtering, and moving target detection.
