Abstract

Abstract: FMCW radars with high resolution necessities the generation of highly linear, low phase noise, and low spur chirp signals with large bandwidth and a short modulation period. This paper reviews recent research progress on silicon-based FMCW signal generators, identifies advances in architecture, fundamental design, performance analysis, and applications of the FMCW synthesizer.
