Radar Quiz 3 (20 marks)

Due: Thursday March 30th 2023 in class.

Instructions

1. Please form groups of 2/3 for the quiz. Each group will submit one solution with all
the names of the group members. No consultation/discussion of any sort permitted
between different groups. Any two groups with similar (and not just identical)
solutions will be penalized for academic dishonesty. All group members of both the
group that copied and the group that allowed their solution to be copied will be
penalized equally.
2. The solution is due at the beginning of Thursday’s class.
3. The solution should include theory and simulations. Please submit the quiz solution
in report format including written answers, viewgraph print outs and code print outs.
4. For the codes, you will be marked for logic, comments of code for readability, and
results with properly labelled viewgraphs.

Consider a radar pulse waveform that is 10ns long divided into 20 sub-pulses each of 0.5ns
duration. The duty cycle of the pulse waveform with respect to the pulse repetition interval
is 10%. Each sub-pulse is coded with a pseudo-random number generated from a standard
normal (Gaussian) distribution with mean 0 and variance 1. (Hint: Use “randn” function in
MATLAB). The waveform is upconverted to a carrier frequency of 3 GHz and is transmitted.
Two targets are assumed to be located at ranges of 10m and 12m from the radar. Ignore the
antenna gains and path loss factor of the target model and assume that the RCS of nearer
and farther targets are 1m2 and 10m2 respectively.
a) Plot the time domain transmitted signal (before up-conversion) and the received
signal (after down-conversion) from the targets.
b) Process the received signal from the targets through matched filter to estimate the
range of the targets. Plot the output of the matched filter.
c) Calculate the range resolution of the waveform. Is it sufficient to resolve both the
targets? Comment.
d) Compare the range resolution of the pseudo-random waveform with that of a chirp
waveform where the chirp rate is 1010 Hz/sec and the pulse duration is 10ns. Discuss
the pros and cons of both waveforms.
e) Compare the range resolution of the pseudo-random waveform with that of an
unmodulated pulse of 10ns duration. Discuss the pros and cons of both waveforms.
f) Carry out the Fourier transform of the received signal (for the pseudo-random time-
domain waveform) and plot the frequency domain version of the received signal.
g) Carry out the Fourier transform of the output of the matched filter (for the pseudo-
random waveform) and plot the frequency domain version of the output signal.
h) How does the peak to side lobe level change between f) and g)?
i) Perform windowing on the time-domain signal in f) using any two types of window
functions. Compare the peak to side lobe levels of the frequency domain response
for the two different window functions.
j) Carry out zero padding by a factor of 5 on f) and g) and repeat h) for the new results
