The invention discloses a
subcarrier-modulation-based
continuous wave Doppler
radar sensor and a motion
demodulation method. A radio-frequency
transceiver chip is connected with a control module; a
clock distribution module is connected with the control module and the radio-frequency
transceiver chip; and the radio-frequency
transceiver chip has transmitting and receiving functions. After
clock distribution of a
crystal oscillator, two paths of low-frequency sinusoidal signals are generated and one path of
signal is transmitted to the control module for digital modulation; the radio-frequency
transceiver chip generates two paths of sinusoidal
continuous wave radio-frequency carrier signals, one path of
signal is a
local oscillator signal, and the other path of signal and the low-frequency sinusoidal signals are mixed to generate a
subcarrier signal for detection; after under sampling of an echo, the processed signal is transmitted to the control module; filter, mixing, and
demodulation are carried and then an anti-trigonometric function is calculated to obtain phase information; a distance and
relative displacement information are calculated based on a
phase difference; and a motion track is recovered. According to the invention, defects of inherent direct-current excursion and
scintillation noises of the traditional zero-intermediate-frequency architecture type
receiver can be overcome. While the simple structure and low cost of the zero-intermediate-frequency
receiver are kept, the image-frequency suppression function of which the traditional low-intermediate-frequency architecture type
receiver is lack is also realized.
