Roldan Montero, I. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)Poor angular resolution is one of the main disadvantages of automotive radars, and the reason why lidar technology is widely used in the automotive industry. For a fixed frequency, the angular resolution of a conventional Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar is limited by the number of physical antennas, and therefore improve the...conference paper 2022

(author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)The sensing properties of the binary phase codes are investigated with their application to phase-coded (linearly) frequency modulated continuous waveform (PC-FMCW). It is shown that the ambiguity function of FMCW signal modulated with a binary phase code corresponds to sheared ambiguity function of the code itself. The range profiles of PC...conference paper 2022
