Abstract

In this paper, W-band Waveform Generator for compact radar has been designed and fabricated. DDS (Direct Digital Synthesizer) is applied to generate CW (Continuous Wave) and FMCW (Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave) waveform at high speed. We designed two LO (Local Oscillator) paths for functions of distance delay and distance tracking tests at the prpposed system without extra test equipment. Two mode selections are provided by switch. It is observed that fabricated waveform generator performs -91 dBc/Hz phase noise at offset 1 kHz and -63.2 dBc spurious. Proposed W-band Waveform Generator is expected to apply for W-band compact radar transceiver module.

본 논문에서는 W-대역 소형 레이다용 파형발생부를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제작된 파형발생부는 DDS를 적용하여 CW 및 FMCW 등 시스템에서 요구되는 다양한 파형을 고속으로 정밀하게 생성한다. 시스템 자체 점검으로 거리 지연 및 거리 추적 시험 시 별도의 점검장비 없이 레이다 자체만으로 시험이 가능하도록 LO 경로를 두 개로 설계하여 스위치를 통해 선택 가능하도록 구현하였다. 제안된 파형발생부는 대역폭 125 MHz, 위상잡음 1 kHz 오프셋(offset)에서 -91 dBc/Hz, 불요파 -63.2 dBc가 측정되었다. 본 논문에서 제시한 파형발생부를 이용하여 W-대역 소형 레이다용 송수신모듈에 바로 적용이 가능할 것으로 예상한다.
