Abstract

This paper presents a digital pre-distortion scheme to reduce carrier-leakage in wideband FMCW radars that use a circulator to provide isolation between the transmitter and receiver. The proposed digital pre-distortion technique first power combines the leakage signal with a second pre-distorting signal prior to entering the radar receiver. The Phase & amplitude of this pre-distorting signal are adjusted for partitions of the FMCW chirp to provide cancellation. Transitions between sections are pulse shaped to eliminate broadband frequency content.
