Range and Velocity Estimation of Moving Targets Using Multiple Stepped-frequency Pulse Trains
نویسندگان
چکیده
Range and velocity estimation of moving targets using conventional steppedfrequencypulse radar may suffer from the range-Doppler coupling and the phasewrapping. To overcome these problems, this paper presents a new radar waveform namedmultiple stepped-frequency pulse trains and proposes a new algorithm. It is shown that byusing multiple stepped-frequency pulse trains and the robust phase unwrapping theorem(RPUT), both of the range-Doppler coupling and the phase wrapping can be robustlyresolved, and accordingly, the range and the velocity of a moving target can be accuratelyestimated.

Motion Compensation of Moving Targets for High Range Resolution Stepped-Frequency Radar
High range resolution (HRR) profiling using stepped-frequency pulse trains suffers from range shift and the attenuation/dispersion of range profiles while the target of interest is moving. To overcome these two drawbacks, a new algorithm based on the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation is proposed in this paper. Without altering the conventional stepped-frequency waveform, this algorithm can est...

Traditional stepped frequency chirp pulse train methods suffer from high sidelobes and ambiguous peaks, known as grating lobes and difficulty in compensating Doppler effect caused by target motion. This paper investigates a class of non-linear stepped frequency chirp pulse train with low sidelobes and capability to cancel clutter and to compensate motion. We present analytic expression for its ...

متن کاملRange Alignment and Motion Compensation for Missile-borne Frequency Stepped Chirp Radar
One of the difficulties for frequency stepped chirp radar (FSCR) is to resolve the range-Doppler coupling due to relative motion between the radar and the target. Motion compensation is usually adopted to solve the problem in realizing synthetic high range resolution profile (HRRP) for a moving target. For missileborne FSCR, the range migration of target echo during a coherent processing interv...

This paper proposes a burst model of chaotic noise signals with randomly stepped carrier frequencies for velocity estimation and high-resolution range imaging of high-speed moving targets. The random stepping of carrier frequencies is controlled by a combination chaotic map (CCM), which is generated by embedding a Logistic map into a Bernoulli map. The baseband noise signal adopts the CCM based...
