Abstract

A wide-range displacement sensing method performs signal processing on four consecutive orthogonal channel signals measured by radar, including DC offset removal, linear combination, amplitude correction, nonlinear combination, and phase demodulation. It can achieve accurate phase demodulation through waveform shaping and Doppler feature enhancement, thus avoiding trajectory fitting being limited by the displacement of the moving target and achieving wide-range displacement sensing.
