Performance analysis of FMCW-UWB radar for oil tank level gauge

Abstract

This paper analyzes the detection probability of FMCW-UWB radar based on Doppler frequency and ADC bit for oil tank level gauge. The FMCW-UWB radar system consists of a transmitted part and a received part and uses an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. The system model is verified through analysis and simulation. The performance degradation of detection does not occur in FMCW-UWB radar with 15cm resolution when the margin of Doppler frequency is about 100Hz, and the ADC bit does not affect the detection performance when the margin of ADC bit is within 3 bits. © 2011 IEEE.
