Abstract

Low observable moving target-detection technology under clutter background is the key factor affecting the radar performance. Here, frequency diverse array (FDA) MIMO radar is investigated for low-observable moving target detection. FDA-MIMO radar not only has all the advantages of phased array and MIMO radar, but also can make a two-dimensional joint estimation of the target distance and azimuth. In order to achieve coherent integration for Doppler processing, a novel three-dimensional processing method is proposed, i.e. space-range-Doppler focus (SRDF) processing. It utilises the property of FDA and high-resolution Doppler processing of MIMO. After discussing signal model of FDA-MIMO radar, the flowchart of SRDF-based low-observable moving target detection and estimation is provided. Finally, simulation of moving target detection in clutter background verifies that proposed method has better ability for joint angle-range-Doppler processing with higher resolutions.
