Potentialities of Usrp-Based Software Defined Radar Systems

Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 53, 417-435, 2013
Abstract
Software Defined Radar is the latest trend in radar development. To handle enhanced radar signal processing techniques, advanced radars need to be able of generating various types of waveforms, such as frequency modulated or phase coded, and to perform multiple functions. The adoption of a Software Defined Radio system makes easier all these abilities. In this work, the implementation of a Software Defined radar system for target tracking using the USRP platform is discussed. For the first time, an experimental characterization in terms of radar application is performed on the latest USRP NI2920, demonstrating a strongly improved target resolution with respect to the first generation platform.
