Abstract

Harmonic radars that use passive nonlinear tags as targets are disadvantaged by the low power of the return signal, which significantly reduces their maximum operating range. To address this limitation, a novel dual-mode X-band FMCW harmonic radar capable of receiving both harmonic and intermodulation signal returns was developed. This paper verifies the functionality of this system through field tests. It demonstrates that using dual-mode operation with an external auxiliary transmitter extends the boresight detectable range up to 2.3 times, that is, from 50 to 115 m.
