Statistical Study of Hardware Impairments Effect on mmWave 77 GHz FMCW Automotive Radar
Paper in proceeding, 2020

In this paper, we analyze the effects of hardware
impairments on 77GHz FMCW automotive radar performance.
Joint in-phase/quadrature imbalance (IQI) and phase noise effects on frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar transceiver
front-end is modeled through statistical analysis of distortion
and noise. We derive the signal to distortion plus noise ratio,
constant false alarm rate, and range-Doppler sensitivity analysis
for both the joint and the individual effects of impairments
and validate the formulations with simulations. The represented
modeling and analysis can be used in millimeter wave (mmWave) FMCW automotive
radar signal processing algorithms for optimum transceiver
design.
