abstract

stepped frequency radars attract many attentions due to their high range resolution. conventional processing technique in these radars is based on the idft. in detecting moving targets, the idft has the problems of range shifting and range spreading, which result in degrading target amplitude, loss of range accuracy and range resolution. to overcome these problems, the velocity compensation method is used. since the target velocity is unknown, one should compensate the received signal with all possible velocities and choose the one with the highest and sharpest idft output. in this paper, by using the compressive sensing based algorithms, a new method for determining the range and the velocity of moving targets in the stepped frequency radar is proposed. the results show that the proposed method does not have any problem with range shifting and range spreading, and has a better performance compared with other methods in literature. coherent processing concept is also investigated. simulations show that using the coherent processing, the performance of compressive sensing based radar detectors is considerably improved.

detection of moving targets in stepped-frequency radars using dcft

one of the most common signals used for achieving high range resolution in radar is stepped-frequency signals. when a target is stationary in these radars, dft (discrete fourier transform) based processing is used to attain high range resolution profile (hrrp). however, in the case of moving target, due to spreading of the echo signal spectrum, dft based processing is not optimal and decreases ...

improving fluctuating target detection using high range resolution stepped frequency radars

one of the problems in detecting radar targets is the variation of target cross section due to aspect angle; which is named as target fluctuation. this perfectly depends on target geometry and transmitted wavelength and can cause significant loss of detection. one of the solutions to this is improving the radar range resolution. stepped frequency is one of the signals that can improve the range...

Target parameter estimation for spatial and temporal formulations in MIMO radars using compressive sensing

Conventional algorithms used for parameter estimation in colocated multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radars require the inversion of the covariance matrix of the received spatial samples. In these algorithms, the number of received snapshots should be at least equal to the size of the covariance matrix. For large size MIMO antenna arrays, the inversion of the covariance matrix becomes compu...

Performance of Target Detection in Phased-MIMO Radars

In this paper, the problem of target detection in phased-MIMO radars is considered and target detection performance of phased-MIMO radars is compared with MIMO and phased-array radars. Phased-MIMO radars combine advantages of the MIMO and phased-array radars. In these radars, the transmit array will be partitioned into a number of subarrays that are allowed to overlap and each subarray transmit...

Target Detection in Bistatic Passive Radars by Using Adaptive Processing Based on Correntropy Cost Function

In this paper a novel method is introduced for target detection in bistatic passive radars which uses the concept of correntropy to distinguish correct targets from false detections. In proposed method the history of each cell of ambiguity function is modeled as a stochastic process. Then the stochastic processes consist the noise are differentiated from those consisting targets by constructing...

Optimal Point Target Detection Using Digital Radars

This paper presents an overview of recent progress of radar for the image detection and characterization of targets. MIMO radar can improve on conventional target detection, parameter identification, and target classification performance via diversity of, among other things, its simultaneously transmitted waveforms. However, the mutual interference among the waveforms may lead to considerable p...
