New Method of Velocity Compensation in a Stepped-Frequency Testing Radar

Abstract

A solution on velocity compensation for a dual-channel stepped-frequency testing radar is presented. The target's radial velocity was estimated real-timely by using high resolution range profiles of the target from two bands respectively, and then compensation was carried out to get the target's real location for automatic target range tracking. An effective method to calculate target's real location avoiding complex computation in direct compensation procedure is discussed. Experimental results are also given and analyzed in this paper.
