Abstract
The maritime airborne corner reflector (ACR) is a radar reflector that can measure wind speed in an unknown sea area in real time over a long distance. To improve our understanding of how the ACR works, we investigated the Doppler characteristics of the ACR for the first time from a dynamic perspective. First, we constructed a radar echo signal model of the ACR. Then, we obtained the dynamic Doppler characteristics through pulse Doppler processing and discussed the special phenomenon of Doppler broadening. Finally, we proposed a rectangular window decomposition method to analyze the inner principle of the Doppler broadening phenomenon in more detail. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the Doppler characterization of an ACR from a dynamic viewpoint, which contributes to enriching the basic theory of this equipment.
