the peak-to-sidelobe ratio for
the
easier detection of weak targets at
the cost of a loss in the range resolution.
The output from all the chirps

Multiple antenna signal streams form
a third dimension for the detection
of the angle of arrival, as will be
detailed in later sections. The resulting
data cube is a quantized representation
of the observation scene of
the radar in space and velocity. Pixel
dimensions represent resolution
with a given sensitivity, which must
exceed a certain threshold value for
reliable detection. Radar signal processing
algorithms operate on the
dimensions of the cube.
Radar design is subject to multiple

tradeoffs within and across the waveform,
antenna, and circuit domains.
For example, assuming a long-range
radar scenario, chirps need to be far
apart to avoid range ambiguities for a
long range in (3), but for high maximum
unambiguous velocity, they
need to be close together. Long chirps
and long measurement times improve
sensitivity and velocity resolution,
respectively, but this makes chirps
from the same sequence measure
the same object at different ranges,
resulting in range migration and
the loss of sensitivity. For example,
detecting a motorcycle with a relative
speed of 200 km/h with a 20-ms chirp
sequence using a 500-MHz modulation
bandwidth (0.3-m resolution)
makes it move almost four range bins
within the same sequence, limiting
the sensitivity benefits of long chirps.
The keystone transformation could
mitigate range migration at the cost
