Pulse-Doppler Radar | Understanding Radar Principles

This video introduces the concept of pulsed doppler radar. Learn how to determine range and radially velocity using a series of radar pulses.

We cover pulse compression and the matched filter, and how to amplify signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with pulse integration. We also introduce two of the three axes in the data cube and show the benefits of looking at the data across the so-called fast-time and slow-time dimensions.

I've tested and calibrated radar systems for years and I learned quite a few things watching your videos. Very interesting !

[wangc]

Thank you Matlab! Fantastic Pulse Doppler video. I've been telling young radar engineers for years that Pulse Doppler radar doesn't actually use the Doppler effect. Most radar literature introduce Pulse Doppler Radar by flashing the Doppler equation which is misleading.

[leycron]

came to learn radar for DCS stayed because that was so interesting

[lester]

one of the best videos and explanation I have seen in YouTube. Great job!

[HenryGhost]

my god, this video explains so much better and easier the Pulse Radar principle than my master class in germany

[Abhishek-lzuy]

Superb Explanation! Expecting one playlist in sequence in more details and practical analysis on dummy data.

[asellers]

Beautifully and masterfully done. Great video that makes me feel smarter than I actually am.

[vsnu]

Excellent explanation with intuitive concept telling.

May we request for a video on Spectral analysis of signals comparing them to Time vs. Frequency domains?

[MohammadHefny_HefnySco]

This series of videos is of great value. Thank you for your great offer to make this such useful, informative videos. Really thank you.

[sachinmurali]

Amazing work....so easy to understand...thanks!

[chasenoorda]

Thank you for making this video, it is very concise and informative.

[Pherecydes]

Absolutely amazing explanation, thank you.

17:25 When can we expect "the next video on phased array antennas" ? Or is that already released, but under a different playlist. Also, great video series, thanks for the explanation.

14:38 what happen if the object has an acceleration? In this case our sampling interval will vary in time. I think after sampling, aliasing sinus will not look like a sinusaidal, there will be a distortion, and it will spread around doppler frequency in frequency domain. in such case how will we determine the velocity?

[thurbine]

What is the mixed filter in a receiver? Like what so the construction how does it work? Do you need a computer or could it be done with more simpler radars?

[JNelson_]

I assume the pulse interval is actually 1ms not 1us? 1ms * 55 m/s = 0.055 m

[ultimatebraverypl]

How did he convert the frequency shift to velocity, i know Fd= 2V/lambda, with lambda C/F(2, 8ghz), when calculating for 500hz i found about 60mph, while he found 120. Is there something i am missing

[benyrobert]

And I still dont found an answer to my guestiion, wich factor makes the SRC PD losse track of the targets?

[dirkaminimo]

I really enjoy the way you pack this signal over time in a far more condensed version when compared to my last lecture. My hope is that this channel and one’s like it aren’t affected by the noise to signal ratio of channels that show the latest purse carried by some useless reality TV star, which is eating the brain cells of our children. Epically horrible and I hope some see that time wasted is never recoverable

5:50 Is the matched filter used for correlation, right? But it seems to show us convolution.
