Partially coherent radar unties range resolution from bandwidth limitations

Abstract: It is widely believed that range resolution, the ability to distinguish between two closely situated targets, depends inversely on the bandwidth of the transmitted radar signal. Here we demonstrate a different type of ranging system, which possesses superior range resolution that is almost completely free of bandwidth limitations. By sweeping over the coherence length of the transmitted signal, the partially coherent radar experimentally demonstrates an improvement of over an order of magnitude in resolving ta… Show more

“…This timescale separation method, also referred to as quasistationarity or adiabatic, 10,11 is reminiscent of similar approaches, such as the slowly varying amplitude approximation and short-time Fourier transform methods. 15 These approximations are especially prevalent in applied fields such as radar and sonar, [16][17][18][19] where the typical velocity of scatterers is far smaller than the velocity of the impinging waves. This timescale separation approach, when applicable, is a powerful tool for numeric simulations, as it allows the use of off-the-shelf static simulators in order to solve time-dependent problems (see Refs.…”

“…Besides, the preprocessed radar data can be generated to images by applying the generative adversarial network (GAN) [52]- [55], but the images still confronted with a problem of insufficient resolution. Moreover, with the increasing number of vehicles equipped FMCW radar, the shared frequency interference phenomenon will become a problem, and the reference [56] proposed a new radar ranging system with proper range resolution without bandwidth limitation. Compared with the same type of radar, its resolution is improved by more than an order of magnitude, which will be beneficial to the construction of high-resolution maps by radar.…”

“…Further, in typical noise radars with range resolutions below 1m, sampling rates can reach the GHz range. Last, we acknowledge new and interesting ranging topologies that utilize partially coherent sources to allow for increased accuracy when additional bandwidth is not available [36]; similar to noise-based ranging, a random or pseudorandom source is the backbone of these ranging waveforms.…”
