  • Patent number: 11914068
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a radar ranging system based on a true random generator and a ranging method thereof The present disclosure adopts the following technical scheme: the system comprises a radar signal modulation and transmission unit and a radar signal receiving and processing unit, wherein the radar signal modulation and transmission unit inputs and stores a true random binary sequence generated by the true random generator in a memory, and cyclically outputs the true random binary sequence to a BPSK modulator for phase modulation. The receiving and amplifying unit receives the reflected radar signal. The down-sampling unit down samples the intermediate frequency signal generated by the mixers. The data processing unit converts the sampled analog signal into a digital signal and cross-correlates the signal with the true random binary sequence in the memory, so as to obtain the distance to the object side to be measured.
