Popis: Today, 77GHz FMCW (Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave) radar sensors are used for automotive applications. In typical automotive radar, the target of interest is a moving target. Thus, to improve the detection probability and reduce the false alarm rate, an MTD(Moving Target Detection) algorithm should be required. This paper describes the proposed two-step MTD algorithm. The 1st MTD processing consists of a clutter cancellation step and a noise cancellation step. The two steps can cancel almost all clutter including stationary targets. However, clutter still remains among the interest beat frequencies detected during the 1st MTD and CFAR (Constant False Alarm) processing. Thus, in the 2nd MTD step, we remove the rest of the clutter with zero phase variation.
