    Abstract
  • This paper proposes a radar signal transceiver framework that combines single-bit sampling and time division multiplexing receivers to satisfy the application requirements of low-cost lightweight radars. Firstly, this paper explains the advantages of saving the number of receivers by introducing the working principle of the framework. From the perspective of radar resource allocation, the importance of single-bit sampling in this framework was analyzed; additionally, the proposed framework can achieve better performance than a classical linear frequency modulation continuous wave radar using time and space exchange. Subsequently, the formulas for range, velocity and angle measurement were derived, along with the Cramér-Rao bound for estimating target parameters. Accordingly, the performance advantages of the proposed framework were verified, and the signal-to-noise ratio conditions for its stable operation were determined. Finally, this paper verifies the accuracy of the target acquisition principle of the proposed framework and the reliability of the performance analysis by using a velocity dimensional pairing algorithm based on single-bit two-dimensional multiple signal classification.
