About this project

This work is part of my bachelor thesis at the Communications Engineering Lab of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

The goal of this project is to develop a MATLAB simulation for a stepped frequency continuous wave (SFCW) radar to estimate the radar cross section (RCS) of given objects. Swerling models should be taken into account.

Alpha Version

The source code is still in development, so most of the functionality is still missing.

Hints

To start the simulation, execute RCS_Estimation in Matlab. Most parameters can be set in the parameters section of the source code (line 14).

The following assumptions where taken:

• The distance of the objects is large in relation to the distance it will move during the measurement (R = const.)
• The target is static (for now v = 0)
