FPGA Implementation of Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) Waveforms for Radar

Spoorthi C, Dr. Ramesh S

Abstract


The last few years have seen advances in radar signal generation and processing techniques with the development of powerful hardware and software. The key objective in designing a pulsed radar system is to attain a good range resolution and achieve maximum range detection. Pulse compression is a technique of signal processing that offers the advantages of greater range resolution capability as in case of short duration pulse and larger range detection capability of long duration pulse. Pulse compression using Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) is a prevalent method in modern radar. In this proposed design, the LFM waveforms are generated using Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) technique. A carry save adder is used to optimize adder operations. The high speed adder architecture provides a greater system performance. This approach has been implemented on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) for the Radar application
