Abstract: Two-dimensional data obtained by performing a Fourier transform on a digitally converted FMCW radar signal at every pulse repetition interval over N pulse repetition intervals is input to a convolutional neural network (CNN) to find the probabilities of the existence of a target in range indices. The range indices, i.e., bit frequencies are selected based on the probabilities of the existence of the target. In order to reduce the size of the CNN, windowing is applied to the two-dimensional data.

Thus, the range and speed of the target may be calculated.
