Abstract
In recent years, target detection has drawn increasing attention in the field of radar signal processing. In this paper, we address the problem of coherent integration for detecting high-speed maneuvering targets, involving range migration (RM), quadratic RM (QRM), and Doppler frequency migration (DFM) within the coherent processing interval. We propose a novel coherent integration algorithm based on the frequency-domain second-order phase difference (FD-SoPD) approach. First, we use the FD-SoPD operation to reduce the signal from three to two dimensions and simultaneously eliminate the effects of QRM and DFM, which leads to signal-to-noise ratio improvement in the velocity-acceleration domain. Next, we estimate the target motion parameters from the peak position without the need for a search procedure. We show that this algorithm can be easily implemented by using complex multiplications combined with fast Fourier transform (FFT) and inverse FFT (IFFT) operations. We perform comparisons with several representative algorithms and show that the proposed technique can be used to achieve a good trade-off between computational complexity and detection performance. We present both simulated and experimental data to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
