Abstract
Long-term coherent integration can remarkably improve the ability of detection and motion parameter estimation of radar for maneuvering targets. However, the linear range migration, quadratic range migration (QRM), and Doppler frequency migration within the coherent processing interval seriously degrade the detection and estimation performance. Therefore, an efficient and noise-resistant coherent integration method based on location rotation transform (LRT) and non-uniform fast Fourier transform (NuFFT) is proposed. QRM is corrected by the second-order keystone transform. Using the relationship between the rotation angle and Doppler frequency, a novel phase compensation function is constructed. Motion parameters can be rapidly estimated by LRT and NuFFT. Compared with several representative algorithms, the proposed method achieves a nearly ideal detection performance with low computational cost. Finally, experiments based on measured radar data are conducted to verify the proposed algorithm.
