Moving target detection with single frequency-stepped burst using fast FRFT

Abstract

Currently, target detection usually requires long-time coherent integration and suffers the Doppler shift, due to the velocity of maneuvering targets. This paper has proposed a complete scheme, applying the fractional Fourier transform into the estimation of range and velocity parameters of targets. The radar signal processing technique is developed to measure the range and velocity of moving targets simultaneously in a single frequency-stepped burst without the long-time integration and avert the negative effect of Doppler shift.
