Noise radar with correlation receiver as the basis of car collision avoidance system

Abstract

Noise radar is suggested as the basis for development of car collision avoidance system. Laboratory model of noise radar with correlation processing of the reflected signal with bandwidth up to 200MHz, which provide the range resolution better than one meter, was created and tested. Single transmitting-receiving unit allows to measure a distance to a target and it velocity simultaneously. The tests conducted showed that the noise radar technology is the most suitable one for development of car collision avoidance system due to it relative simplicity, high sensitivity and immunity against electromagnetic interferences, as well as good electromagnetic compatibility characteristics, small sizes, light weights and low cost.
