Simulation of Linear Frequency Modulated Pulse Compression Radar System

In this study, we conducted detailed simulations of linear frequency modulated pulse compression radar systems. Our implementation incorporated practical considerations including system noise and ground clutter present in target echoes, along with comprehensive designs of key components: high-frequency amplifiers, mixers, intermediate-frequency amplifiers, and quadrature phase detectors. The simulation framework employs digital signal processing techniques for both time-domain and frequency-domain pulse compression algorithms, utilizing matched filtering approaches to optimize signal-to-noise ratio. Additionally, we implemented advanced signal processing modules including Moving Target Indication (MTI) using Doppler filtering techniques, Moving Target Detection (MTD) through velocity processing, and Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) algorithms for adaptive threshold detection. These implementations typically involve FFT operations for frequency-domain processing and digital filtering techniques for clutter suppression. Through this comprehensive simulation work, we achieved deeper understanding and optimization of linear frequency modulated pulse compression radar system performance.
