Motion parameters estimation of manoeuvring weak target with multiple motion stages based on range symmetry transform and short‐time fractional Fourier transform

Abstract With the advancement of manoeuvrability and the increasement of coherent processing interval (CPI), the observed target might be of multiple motion stages. Therefore, most existing long‐time coherent integration (LTCI) algorithms based on the assumption of single‐motion stage is not proper...

Description
Summary:Abstract With the advancement of manoeuvrability and the increasement of coherent processing interval (CPI), the observed target might be of multiple motion stages. Therefore, most existing long‐time coherent integration (LTCI) algorithms based on the assumption of single‐motion stage is not proper any more. To address this problem, this letter proposes an effective motion parameters estimation algorithm, which is the key step of LTCI, for the manoeuvring weak target with multiple motion stages based on range symmetry transform and short‐time fractional Fourier transform (RST‐STFrFT). The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by signal‐level simulations.
