Abstract
A target detection and imaging system, comprising a RADAR unit and at least one ultra-low phase noise frequency synthesizer, is provided. The target detecting, and imaging system can assist other sensors such as LiDAR, camera to further detect and investigate objects on the road from distance. RADAR unit configured for detecting the presence and characteristics of one or more objects in various directions. The RADAR unit may include a transmitter for transmitting at least one radio signal; and a receiver for receiving the at least one radio signal returned from the one or more objects. signals. The ultra-low phase noise frequency synthesizer may utilize dual loop design comprising one main PLL and one sampling PLL, where the main PLL might include a DDS or Fractional-N PLL plus a variable divider, or the synthesizer may utilize a sampling PLL only, to reduce phase noise from the returned radio signal. This proposed system overcomes deficiencies of current generation state of the art RADAR Systems by providing much lower level of phase noise which would result in improved performance of the RADAR system in terms of target detection, characterization etc.
