Target detection of high resolution and full polarization based on PWF and scattering points

Abstract

The target detection of high resolution and full polarization radar is discussed. Signal-to-clutter ratio is a determining factor for the detection problem. Raising SCR can bring about an improvement. Here, a cascaded detection scheme is presented. The enhancement of SCR at each stage result in the ultimate improvement of detection performance. At first, by exploiting polarization information, the fused and enhanced one-dimensional range profile is obtained. Then the target's detection is transformed to that of scattering points owing to the high resolving property. Finally, a simulation experiment verifies that the ultimate detection performance is improved.
