Application of the Fractional Fourier Transform and S-Method in Doppler Radar Tomography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Doppler radar tomography is a technique which uses only the Doppler profiles of a rotating target as projections in two-dimensional radar tomography to obtain an image of the target. The work demonstrates, for the first time, the application of the fractional Fourier transform and the S-Method in improving the image resolution. The performance is shown to be significantly better than that available with traditional Fourier transform-based methods. APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE

ISAR Image Improvement Using STFT Kernel Width Optimization Based On Minimum Entropy Criterion
Nowadays, Radar systems have many applications and radar imaging is one of the most important of these applications. Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) is used to form an image from moving targets. Conventional methods use Fourier transform to retrieve Doppler information. However, because of maneuvering of the target, the Doppler spectrum becomes time-varying and the image is blurred. Joi...
متن کاملExtracting Micro-Doppler Radar Signatures From Rotating Targets Using Fourier-Bessel Transform and Time-Frequency Analysis
In this paper, we report the efficiency of Fourier Bessel transform and time-frequency based method in conjunction with the fractional Fourier transform, for extracting micro-Doppler radar signatures from the rotating targets. This approach comprises mainly of two processes; the first being decomposition of the radar return, in order to extract micro-Doppler (m-D) features and the second being,...
متن کاملApplication of the Fractional Fourier Transform to Moving Train Imaging
This paper introduces an imaging algorithm with application of fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) for ground moving train imaging by Ku-band ground-based radar. In view of the fact that the train speed is varying when acrossing the radar beam, the multiple Doppler parameters are estimated corresponding to different range positions, i.e., they are estimated from different sections of data in Fr...

متن کاملBeamforming using the fractional Fourier transform
We present a new method of beamforming using the fractional Fourier transform (FrFT). This method encompasses the conventional minimum mean-squared error (MSE) beamforming in the frequency domain or spatial domain as special cases. It is especially useful for applications involving chirp signals such as signal enhancement problems with accelerating sinusoidal sources where the Doppler effect ge...
