PCA-Based Detection Algorithm of Moving Target Buried in Clutter in Doppler Frequency Domain

چکیده
This letter proposes a novel technique for detecting a target signal buried in clutter using principal component analysis (PCA) for pulse-Doppler radar systems. The conventional detection algorithm is based on the fast Fourier transform-constant false alarm rate (FFT-CFAR) approaches. However, the detection task becomes extremely difficult when the Doppler spectrum of the target is completely buried in the spectrum of clutter. To enhance the detection probability in the above situations, the proposed method employs the PCA algorithm, which decomposes the target and clutter signals into uncorrelated components. The performances of the proposed method and the conventional FFT-CFAR based detection method are evaluated in terms of the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) for various signal-to-clutter ratio (SCR) cases. The results of numerical simulations show that the proposed method significantly enhances the detection probability compared with that obtained using the conventional FFT-CFAR method, especially for lower SCR situations. key words: moving target detection, pulse Doppler radar, principal component analysis (PCA)

Manoeuvring target detection in over-the-horizon radar using adaptive clutter rejection and adaptive chirplet transform
In over-the-horizon radar (OTHR) systems, the signal-to-clutter ratio (SCR) used for moving target detection is very low. For slowly moving targets such as ships, the SCR is typically from 250 dB to 260 dB and their Doppler frequencies are close to that of the clutter. For manoeuvring targets, such as aircraft and missiles, the Doppler frequencies are time-varying when a long integration time i...

In this paper, an efficient direct data domain space-time adaptive processing (STAP) algorithm for moving targets detection is proposed, which is achieved based on the distinct spectrum features of clutter and target signals in the angle-Doppler domain. To reduce the computational complexity, the high-resolution angle-Doppler spectrum is obtained by finding the sparsest coefficients in the angl...

This paper presents a novel algorithm for space-time adaptive processing (STAP), by exploiting the characteristic of sparsity in the radar echo in Spatial-Doppler domain. Unlike traditional algorithm for STAP, our new method needs much less (even only one) training cells to eliminate the clutter energy in the test cell and reveal the target buried in strong clutter clearly. Owing to its excelle...
متن کاملAn Efficient Method of Doppler Parameter Estimation in Time-frequency Domain for a Moving Object from Spaceborne High-resolution X-band Sar Data
Velocity retrieval of a moving object from recorded signals by a single-channel SAR is a difficult task. To retrieve a velocity of moving object, it is necessary to estimate the speeds of the object in two dimensions of range and azimuth. Both azimuth and range (or antenna line-of-sight) component of target moving motion changes the Doppler phase history of the moving object in comparison with ...
