Book excerpt: The intent of this project was to design and simulate a frequency modulated continuous wave (FM-CW) radar system capable of making target range and velocity measurements. MATLAB was used to model each component of the FM-CW radar system and simulate transmit and receive signal behavior, channel effects, and target radar cross section (RCS) characteristics. A top-down approach to the design of the FM-CW radar system was presented beginning with an overview of theory and architecture followed by a detailed explanation of each component in the signal path. Key interactions between components were discussed as well as potential differences between real world components and their simulated counterparts. An overview of the signal processing techniques and software architecture required to make target range and velocity measurements was also presented and implemented. An overall FM-CW radar system simulation was implemented in MATLAB including simulated channel effects and targets. The simulation was run so that resultant target range and velocity measurements were obtained and radar system performance and simulation fidelity were evaluated and presented.
