Abstract
Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation was proposed to tackle the destructive Doppler effects in wireless communications, with potential applications to many other areas. In this paper, we investigate its application to radar systems, and propose a novel efficient OTFS-based matched filter algorithm for target range and velocity estimation. The proposed algorithm not only exhibits the inherent advantages due to multicarrier modulation of the existing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM-) based radar algorithms but also provides additional benefits to improve radar capability. Similar to OFDM, OTFS spreads the transmitted signal in the entire time-frequency resources to exploit the full diversity gains for radar processing. However, OTFS requires less cyclic prefix, and hence, shorter transmission duration than OFDM, allowing longer range radar and/or faster target tracking rate. Additionally, unlike OFDM, OTFS is inter-carrier interference-free, enabling larger Doppler frequency estimation. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm using numerical results under different system settings.
