Abstract
Stepped frequency radar technology, where the transmit waveform consists of a sequence of tones, has long been suggested for cost-effective and high-resolution applications. One recent use of this technology is in automotive application where, in addition to cost-effectiveness, a random stepped frequency (RSF) waveform can significantly reduce the interference between vehicles. In this paper we provide a generic framework for the range and Doppler measurements for multiple targets. We further suggest two possible methods for reducing the computational complexity of RSF waveforms processing, which is important for future automotive applications.
