Abstract

Various implementations described herein are directed to adaptive frequency correction for pulse compression radar. In one implementation, a method may include generating a first transmission signal using a first direct digital synthesizer of a pulse compression radar system based on frequency sweep coefficients. The method may also include comparing a frequency of the first transmission signal at a feedback loop of a phase locked loop circuit and a frequency of an ideal waveform signal. The method may further include generating adaptive frequency coefficients based on the comparison, where the adaptive frequency coefficients are configured to compensate for a difference between the frequency of the first transmission signal at the feedback loop and the frequency of the ideal waveform signal. The method may additionally include generating a compensated transmission signal using the pulse compression radar system based on the adaptive frequency coefficients and the frequency sweep coefficients.
