Abstract

Nonlinear radar uses passive harmonic tags to detect and track objects in cluttered environments. Being an effective solution against clutter, it is notorious for its low range in relation to transmit power. A novel dual-mode nonlinear radar employs auxiliary transmitters to generate and process harmonic and intermodulation tag returns. This work investigates how this dual-mode operation can be leveraged to increase system coverage.
