Pushing the Limit of Range Resolution Beyond Bandwidth Constraint with Triangle FMCW

This paper proposes a novel signal processing technique that doubles the range resolution of FMCW~(Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) sensing without increasing the required bandwidth. The proposed design overcomes the resolution limit imposed by bandwidth by exploiting the phase consistency observed in the special frequency variation of the beat signal derived from triangle FMCW. Through this approach, the resolution is doubled while maintaining high spectrum SNR. A system model for signal processing is presented, and the energy distribution of the derived beat spectrum is analyzed. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is validated through model-based simulations.
