Multi Mode

In this work, a multi-mode radar transceiver supporting pulse, FMCW and CW modes was designed as an integrated circuit. The radars mainly detect the targets move by using the Doppler frequency which is significantly affected by flicker noise of the receiver from several Hz to several kHz. Due to this flicker noise, the long-range detection performance of the radars is greatly reduced, and the accuracy of range to the target and velocity is also deteriorated. Therefore, we propose a transmitter that suppresses LO leakage in consideration of long-range detection, target distance, velocity, and noise figure. We also propose a receiver structure that suppresses DC offset due to image signal and LO leakage. The design was conducted with TSMC 65 nm CMOS process, and the designed and fabricated circuit consumes a current of 265 mA at 1.2 V supply voltage. The proposed transmitter confirms the LO leakage suppression of 37 dB at 24 GHz. The proposed receiver improves the noise figure by about 20 dB at 100 Hz by applying a double conversion architecture and an image rejection, and it illustrates a DC rejection of 30 dB. Afterwards, the operation of the pulse, FMCW, and CW modes of the designed radar in integrated circuit was confirmed through experiment using a test PCB.

This study evaluates the EUREF Permanent Network (EPN) station position time series of approximately 200 GNSS stations subject to the Repro 2 reprocessing campaign in order to characterize the dominant types of noise and amplitude and their impact on estimated velocity values and associated uncertainties. The visual inspection on how different noise model represents the analysed data was done using the power spectral density of the residuals and the estimated noise model and it is coherent with the calculated Allan deviation (ADEV)-white and flicker noise. The velocities resulted from the dominant noise model are compared to the velocity obtained by using the Median Interannual Difference Adjusted for Skewness (MIDAS). The results show that only 3 stations present a dominant random walk noise model compared to flicker and powerlaw noise model for the horizontal and vertical components. We concluded that the velocities for the horizontal and vertical component show similar values in the case of MIDAS and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), but we also found that the associated uncertainties from MIDAS are higher compared to the uncertainties from MLE. Additionally, we concluded that there is a spatial correlation in noise amplitude, and also regarding the differences in velocity uncertainties for the Up component.
