  • Publication number: 20250052885
    Abstract: A displacement-sensing Doppler radar with ultra-low noise and high sensing resolution is provided. The radar includes N two frequency synthesizers to respectively generate, at different frequencies, a transmitted signal that is radiated toward a target object, and a local oscillator (LO) signal. The radar further includes a mixer and a rectifier to: (1) receive a returned signal from the target object carrying phase delays corresponding to detected displacements of the target object; (2) mix the returned signal and the LO signal to generate a down-converted sine-wave intermediate frequency (IF) signal; and (3) rectify the sine-wave IF signal to a square-wave IF signal, which also carries the displacement-induced phase delays. The radar also includes a phase demodulation module to convert the displacement-induced phase delays into a pulse-modulated signal. The radar further includes a low-pass filter to convert the modulated pulse signal into an output voltage signal indicative of the detected displacements.
