A multiple target doppler estimation algorithm for OFDM based intelligent radar systems

In this paper an approach will be presented that allows for estimating the velocity of multiple reflecting objects with standard OFDM communication signals. The proposed technique does not require any specific coding of the transmit signal and provides high dynamic range and low sidelobe levels. Thi...

Summary:In this paper an approach will be presented that allows for estimating the velocity of multiple reflecting objects with standard OFDM communication signals. The proposed technique does not require any specific coding of the transmit signal and provides high dynamic range and low sidelobe levels. This allows for an efficient acquisition of velocity information in joint communication and radar systems. The paper discusses the developed algorithm and a possible OFDM system concept for automotive applications. Measurement results are provided that prove the operability in practical scenarios.
