Advanced code sequences design for pedestrian detection in millimeter-wave pulse-compression radar system

Abstract

The paper proposes code sequences with an optimized criterion for precisely detecting pedestrians in the presence of vehicles in millimeter-wave pulse-compression radar system. The criterion named FR (Floor-Ratio) focuses on the maximum of sidelobes. The code sequences based on FR attain higher maximum sidelobe suppression compared to the ones based on conventional criterion. Computer simulation and experimental measurement have been done for verification. Consequently, our work proves the effectiveness of the proposed code sequences with the criterion for next generation millimeter-wave radar systems.
