Description
Summary:The bistatic radar weak target detection problem is considered in this paper. An effective way to detect weak target is the long time integration. However, range migration (RM) will occur due to the high speed. Without knowing the target motion parameters, a long time integration algorithm for bistatic radar is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the algorithm utilizes second-order keystone transform (SKT) to remove range curvature. Then the quadratic phase term is compensated by the estimated acceleration. After that, SKT is used once more and the Doppler ambiguity phase term compensation is performed. At last, the target energy is integrated via FT. Simulations are provided to show the validity of the proposed algorithm in the end.
