Abstract
A photonic assisted radar utilizing multiband linearly frequency modulated (LFM) signal with increased bandwidth, combined with FSK data transmission is proposed in this work. In this scheme, gain switched vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) is exploited to generate multiband LFM radar signal, when a baseband LFM signal is given as input. Simulation results verified the generation of multiband LFM signals at 5 GHz, 10 GHz, 15 GHz and 20 GHz, with bandwidth of 600 MHz, 1200 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2400 MHz, respectively for 5 GHz LFM input. The LFM frequency bands and their bandwidth are increased N times with respect to the baseband LFM signal. The time bandwidth product reaches a maximum value of 38400 with a range of resolution of 7.5 cm. The radar unambiguous range of 2 targets is estimated as 7.8 m and 7.95 m respectively. The maximum target detection distance is found to be 2.25 km.The demodulation of LFM-FSK signal is demonstrated and achieved a maximum capacity of 100 Mbps. The integrated LFM-FSK signal has the benefit of high immunity towards interference, reduced range ambiguity and finds application in automotive radars, short range tracking, missile guidance and radar networks.
