PRODUCTION DATA
S-band covers a frequency range of 2 GHz to 4 GHz. For this example, use a radar with signal bandwidth of 200 MHz and a center frequency of 3.2 GHz.
Doppler radars use the frequency shift in the returned signal to measure the velocity of object. Large reflected signals from for example ground clutter mix with the TX and RX phase noise, which can potentially swamp the return signal from a small moving object. This places a requirement on close in phase noise for the close in phase noise of the radar chirp.
Radars are also sensitive to spurious signals, and for this example we assume 90 dBFS is required for the inband SFDR.
