Abstract
Linear frequency modulation (LFM) signal is widely used in pulse compression radars, whereas faced with the time delay bias caused by Doppler shift of radar echoes, which must be accounted for in some applicative occasions where the linear frequency modulation ratio is very low or Doppler shift is very large. The method of time delay estimation based on cross-ambiguity function (CAF) could solve the problem but need two-dimensional search around the entire time delay and Doppler shift plane, which increases computational complexity heavily and brings great challenge to real-time processing. An effective time delay estimation method is proposed in this paper based on the relationship of time delay and Doppler shift, which can reduce two-dimensional search to one-dimensional search along LFM signal energy line, and diminish the computation complexity greatly with the same performance of parameters estimation. Simulations proved the validity of the method proposed.
