Abstract

Unlike traditional THz imaging system, we first report a design of 0.2THz stepped frequency radar system, and prove its feasibility by simulation. The stepped frequency radar working from 200GHz to 210GHz can provide centimeter accuracy. To demonstrate the feasibility of our design, we simulate our system by using Advanced Design System (ADS) and Simulink in Matlab. The transmitter line is simulated in ADS, while system-level simulation is carried out in Matlab. The simulation of transmitter is implemented by using parameters from actual products, which can ensure the reality of simulation. In this paper, we will present the methods and results of our simulation. From the results, we can conclude that our design is feasible.
