Phased Array toolbox simulation

Hi,

Just wondering if I could simulate the return signal of a target(could we actually set which part we interested for eg,movement form hand, body, leg and etc? ) from a continuous wave(instead of a pulsed Doppler radar) Doppler radar using this toolbox? I would like to see the effect of having few different receivers at different location. It could be only one single transmitter or few different transmitter? Please advise.

Thanks.

Stan.

Hi Stan,

The toolbox should be able to handle what you want in principle but there isn't much details in your question so it's difficult to give a definite answer. The toolbox currently support FMCW for continuous wave radar, but you can also use your own waveforms to work with the toolbox. The toolbox can handle multistatic configuration.

HI Honglei,

Thanks for your information. I am trying to use a fixed frequency, eg sinusoidal 2.4 GHz of continuous wave at the Tx and the received signal would be modulated due to the movement of the target and can be extracted using the direct conversion method. I actually trying to simulate the relationship of the received signal with the position of the Tx and Rx corresponding to the target. Will that be possible, do you have any example on that? Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi Lee,

You can probably start with the following example
