    摘要: The present disclosure provides a gated range scanning linear frequency modulated continuous wave (LFMCW) radar structure, including: a frequency synthesizer, a first mixer, a second mixer, a first filter, and a third mixer. The frequency synthesizer is configured for generating a first local oscillating signal and a second local oscillating signal, a frequency of the first local oscillating signal varying in a frequency range, each frequency corresponding to a sub-range of a coverage range scanned by the LFMCW radar structure. The first mixer is configured for mixing a copy of a transmitted signal and the first local oscillating signal to generate a first output signal (the receiver's first local oscillator). The second mixer is configured for mixing the first output signal and a received signal from a receiving antenna to generate a second output signal that includes an intermediate frequency (IF) signal being received by the first filter.

    摘要: A hidden chamber detector includes a linear frequency modulated continuous wave (LFMCW) radar, a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging processor, and a time division multiple access (TDMA) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna array, including a plurality of transmitting and receiving (Tx-Rx) antenna pairs. A Tx-Rx antenna pair is selected, in a time division manner, as a Tx antenna and an Rx antenna for the LFMCW radar. The LFMCW radar is configured to transmit an illumination signal, receive an echo signal, convert the echo signal to a baseband signal, collect baseband samples, and send the collected samples to the SAR imaging processor. The SAR imaging processor is configured to receive the collected samples, collect structure/configuration of the antenna array and scanning information, and form an SAR image based on the collected samples, the structure/configuration of the antenna array, and the scanning information.
