Ultra-Wideband OFDM Radar and Communication System

Schuerger, Jonathan Paul

Abstract Details

2009, Master of Science, Miami University, Physics.
This paper examines the possibility of a dual use radar and communication systembased on ultra-wideband orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) waveforms. Theory for utilizing OFDM as radar signals is developed and analyzed. Signal performance is examined for a synthetic aperture radar imaging scenario and limitations on system resolution are considered. OFDM radar waveform electronic counter counter-measure (ECCM) capabilities are assessed for hostile environments and compared with several benchmark radar signals. Finally, the dual use system is implemented and experimental results for both radar and communication modes are presented in detail.
