Building on a six-port interferometric transceiver, this work proposes a fragmented-spectrum PMCW radar that realizes carrier aggregation (CA) over two noncontiguous sub-bands using a single RF front-end and local oscillator (LO). Starting from a wide-span PMCW waveform, a designed central spectral region is filtered out, leaving two equal-bandwidth sub-bands separated by a spectral gap. The resulting fragmented-spectrum, wide-span signal can achieve an effective range resolution beyond the nominal bandwidth limit at the expense of elevated range sidelobes. To restore sidelobe performance, a time-interleaving scheme alternately transmits the fragmented signal and a contiguous sub-band PMCW signal and coherently combines their range profiles from matched filtering and Fourier processing at the receiver to jointly narrow the main lobe and suppress sidelobes while preserving ISAC flexibility and reserving a sub-band for communication. Simulation results show that, with a total occupied bandwidth of 200 MHz, the proposed solution attains a range resolution equivalent to that of an intact 270-MHz PMCW signal, with first-sidelobe levels close to the intact benchmark of −17 dB. Experiments with a compact six-port prototype confirm the predicted ranging accuracy and multi-target discrimination, thus demonstrating a practical framework for spectrum synthesis and sidelobe suppression in high-resolution PMCW radar for fragmented-spectrum ISAC scenarios.","PeriodicalId":13272,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques","volume":"74 10","pages":"9184-9195"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149222618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The DGSs significantly enhance the initial bandwidth, whereas the fences are employed to adjust the coupling with the striplines through active control. By indirectly adjusting the even-mode capacitances and coupling coefficients, the structure achieves a precise bandwidth tuning range. Such reconfigurability is governed by an FPGA-driven programmable scheme, wherein specific metallic fence switching states are precisely mapped to predefined bandwidth responses.

The proposed design employs a decoupled even-/odd-mode codesign framework to simultaneously optimize insertion loss, isolation bandwidth, and circuit compactness. In the even mode, a capacitor-loaded T-coil network is utilized to realize electrical-length compression, thereby reducing passive component values and parasitic loss while maintaining wideband impedance matching. In the odd mode, a symmetric floating resistor-loaded T-coil network is introduced to increase the effective matching order of the isolation path without introducing additional insertion loss or grounding-induced leakage. This higher order isolation mechanism provides an additional degree of freedom for impedance compensation and significantly extends the achievable isolation bandwidth. Furthermore, a unified analytical design methodology is established to explicitly relate insertion loss, bandwidth, and isolation characteristics to electrical length, coupling coefficients, and isolation resistance. Based on this framework, the bandwidth-extension mechanism and parameter optimization principles are systematically analyzed.
