Abstract
To address the defocusing problem faced by random stepped frequency (RSF) radars, this paper presents a complementary code cancellation (CCC) method to estimate the target velocity and achieve motion compensation. The proposed CCC method is capable of eliminating the coupling effect between range profile and target velocity. In this paper, we first give a block diagram of RSF radar modulated by the M-sequence-generated pseudorandom code, and introduce the baseband sampling echo model of moving target. Then, the velocity estimation accuracy is derived to show the sensitivity of high-resolution range profile to target velocity. Subsequently, the CCC method is proposed and also investigated in the application of multi-target scenario. Performance analyses demonstrate that the proposed method can satisfy the estimation accuracy requirement and improve the signal to noise ratio by the velocity accumulation. Finally, simulations show that the method is effective and more computationally efficient than the existing popular methods.
