Application of Doppler beam sharpening for azimuth refinement in prospective low‐THz automotive radars

Abstract: In this study, the authors investigate the application of the Doppler beam sharpening (DBS) technique for angular refinement to the emerging area of low-terahertz (THz) radar sensing. Ultimately this is to improve radar image quality in the azimuth plane to complement the excellent range resolution and thus improve object classification in low-THz radar imaging systems for autonomous platforms. The study explains the fundamental theory behind the process of DBS and describes the applicability of DBS to automot… Show more

“…What's more, imaging with higher resolution [8]- [11] can also be achieved by increasing the frequencies and bandwidth of incident waves. With this function, THz imaging is rapidly developed to meet the requirement of some commercial applications, such as THz medical imaging test [12]- [14], atmospheric and environmental monitoring [15]- [17], THz radar [18], [19], national security and anti-terrorism [20]- [23].…”

“…Advances in multifunction radar systems have led to airborne radar systems exhibiting superior capabilities for various modes such as the target track mode, auto‐acquisition mode, and air‐to‐ground mode [1]. Among various modes, the air‐to‐ground mode is important since it supports various ground missions, including ground moving target indication/tracking [2, 3], Doppler beam sharpening [4, 5], and air‐to‐ground ranging (AGR). In engagement environments, AGR is especially crucial for missile and bomb guidance.…”
