A distance measuring scheme based on repeated use of PN sequence

This paper proposes a novel distance measuring scheme based on repeated PN sequence for ultra wide-band vehicle radar systems. The proposed scheme measures the distance between a vehicle and an obstacle based on repeated use of a single short pseudo random sequence. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides a shorter mean distance measuring time while keeping a similar measurement error performance to that of the conventional scheme.
