Highly accurate vibrometry and ranging are important topics in the industrialized economy. Wherever optical measurement technology fails due to its high prices and vulnerability within harsh environments, millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar technology is well suited. This article introduces a signal processing chain for ultrawideband frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar. It uses fast-time measurement to evaluate the instantaneous phase, thus allowing for spatially resolved sensing of multiple simultaneously vibrating radar targets, faster than the chirp rate. In order to accomplish this, a sophisticated error model and a calibration scheme were derived. We used three FMCW radar systems covering a broad range of the mmWave spectrum to demonstrate the signal processing approach. In contrast to the commonly used slow-time measurement principle, the highest detectable frequency was improved from 55 Hz to at least 16 kHz, which is the upper limit of the audio range. Up to 10 kHz could be measured with an underlying large-scale motion of 0.4 m/s, while the vibration displacement was at a minimum of 30 nm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
