The description of a new method for increasing the resolution of radio pulse sensors (RPS) designed for short-range radar systems (SRRS) for detecting and measuring motion parameters of location objects is presented. The essence of the method is that the controlled area of space with the targets located in it is periodically irradiated with probing radio pulses, and during their radiation, radio pulses reflected from the targets are simultaneously received and divided into two quadrature channels. Next, they are mixed with probing radio pulses, and the time-overlapping parts of these radio pulses are converted into the region of low Doppler frequencies in the form of two quadrature video pulses. Then, the quadrature video pulses received in these channels are sampled by amplitude, stored at multiple points in time and digitally processed according to the proposed algorithm. The method is implemented in the RPS made on the basis of a horn-lens antenna, a Doppler receiving and transmitting module with quadrature outputs of converted signals, a synchronization and pulse generation unit, as well as a digital signal processing unit. The RPS can be used in onboard (for example, automotive) SRRS designed to detect moving targets, measure the distance to them, as well as determine the speed and direction of movement. The results of experimental studies have been obtained on the example of the 8-mm autodyne RPS made on the basis of the oscillator on a planar Gann-diode.
