Weak Target Integration Detection Based on Radar Communication Integrated Signal via Constructed Step-LFM Model

Weak target detection is a great challenging in radar field. To detect weak targets via radar communication integrated signal, a method for constructed step-LFM (CStep-LFM) signal is proposed based on quadrature amplitude modulation-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (QAM-OFDM) echoes.

Description
Summary:Weak target detection is a great challenging in radar field. To detect weak targets via radar communication integrated signal, a method for constructed step-LFM (CStep-LFM) signal is proposed based on quadrature amplitude modulation-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (QAM-OFDM) echoes. First, a QAM-OFDM and CStep-LFM model is established, and then a bandpass filters bank is used to transform the QAM-OFDM echo into a Step-LFM signal. Finally, compared with several existing integrated signals, the analyses and the simulation results show that CStep-LFM signal not only improves the detection performance of weak targets but also has a better communication performance.
