Enhancement of Range Resolution using Two Receivers in Continuous Time Frequency Modulation Technique

Abstract

The resolution in range in continuous time frequency modulation (CTFM) is directly proportional to the pulse width of the compressed signal. The two receiver technique for continuous transmission frequency modulation processing was proposed as a technique to make resolution independent of the pulse width. In two receiver technique the output is without any discontinuity in time. Practically, it has been observed that the resolution in range is also limited by the pulse width of the probe signal bandwidth in the two receiver CTFM technique. The actual performance and limitation of the two receiver technique has been given in this paper.
