Abstract: The echo signal model of MultiCarrier Modulated radar system based on OFDM (OFDM-MCM) is
introduced firstly, the expression of the match filtering output is deduced based on it, and the detection probability
is analyzed, then simulation of the Integrated SideLobe Ratio(ISLR) of the pulse compression output and Receiver
Operating Characteristic(ROC) between the Single Carrier Modulated (SCM) radar and OFDM-MCM radar is
compared. The simulation results indicate the OFDM-MCM radar has the better pulse compression performance
and higher detection probability for high speed target.
Key words: Radar; Multicarrier; OFDM; Pulse compression; Detection probability
