Correlation Method for Signal Processing of Microwave Doppler Sensors

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

A method of processing microwave sensor signals is proposed. Application of this method allows substantially improving the accuracy of determination of Doppler frequency and associated information parameters. Here, frequency modulation changing by the symmetric saw-tooth law is used with spectral processing of the output signal on rising and falling sections. The Doppler frequency is calculated from the cross-correlation function of the spectral envelope, which makes it possible to eliminate error caused by the spectral structure of the Doppler signal.
