Abstract

We design and implement the DSP module for automotive radar using FMCW. The designed parameters are based on 77GHz FMCW radar, and show the resolution of 0.4m and 0.67km/h in distance and velocity, respectively. For detecting multiple targets, we discuss the relationship between fb's and targets. In addition, we show that the detection of multiple targets is very simple when the range of $f_r$ is sufficiently larger than that of $f_b$. In the front of ADC, the 2nd order differentiator is applied for reducing the effects of path-loss so that the ADC bits are reduced to 8 bits. The designed block is simulated in Matlab and implemented with DSP and micro-processor.

ITS를 위한 차량 충돌 방지 시스템인 FMCW 방식의 자동차 레이더를 분석하고 이에 적합한 신호처리부를 설계하고 구현하였다. 77GHz 대역의 FMCW 레이더에 대하여 성능 파라미터를 거리와 속도 해상도가 각각 0.4m, 0.67Km/h이 되도록 설계하였으며, 다중 물체의 검출을 위한 다수의 비트주파수를 조합하는 방법에 대하여 검토했다. 또한 거리 주파수인 $f_r$과 속도 주파수 $f_d$의 범위를 다르게 설정하여 다중 물체의 처리가 훨씬 간단해지는 것을 보였다. 다중 물체들의 거리차로 인한 감쇄를 보정하도록 미분기를 전처리단에 사용하여 ADC 비트수를 8bit로도 충분히 검출할 수 있음을 보였다. 제안한 방법과 설계한 파라미터 값들을 사용하여 Matlab으로 모의실험으로 검증하고 DSP와 마이크로프로세서를 이용하여 구현하였다.
