Читать книгу Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging With MATLAB Algorithms - Caner Ozdemir - Страница 65

The selection of the radar signal type is mainly decided by the specific role and the application of the radar. Therefore, different waveforms can be utilized for the various radar applications. The most commonly used radar waveforms are

1 continuous wave (CW),

2 frequency‐modulated continuous wave (FMCW),

3 stepped‐frequency continuous wave (SFCW),

4 short pulse, and

5 chirp (linear frequency modulated [LFM]) pulse.

Next, these waveforms will be investigated while their time and frequency characteristics are demonstrated and their common usages and applications are addressed.
