Here we illustrate the scheduling of these sequences of complementary waveforms in the context of tracking. We provide both a theoretical analysis of the Doppler response of waveform sequences constructed in this way and for this application, and computer simulations of a scheduling algorithm which deliveries superior performance for the tracking of an accelerating target.","PeriodicalId":365285,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Radar","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121025238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By using linear frequency modulation (LFM) waveform, we propose a method of achieving range resolution improvement through extrapolating the bandwidth of the LFM waveform after it has been radiated by the transmitter and reflected back from targets and clutter to the receiver of a radar system. The proposed method is based on using linear prediction to extend the target frequency response into spectral regions outside of the measured band. There are two key differences between the proposed technique and an existing bandwidth extrapolation technique designed for wideband radar systems. Firstly, it uses correlation rather than stretch processing to obtain the range profile. This has the advantage of allowing the range depth of interest to be as large as the radar unambiguous distance, which is commonly required in narrowband radar systems. Secondly, the bandwidth extrapolation process is carried out after Doppler processing, which allows the proposed technique to work effectively even in the presence of strong stationary or slow moving clutter. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method using real data collected from an over-the-horizon radar system. We have shown that the proposed technique is capable of improving the range resolution in the presence of stationary clutter that is 20 - 50 dB stronger than the targets. In addition to range resolution improvement, we have observed that the proposed bandwidth extrapolation technique also improves the signal to noise ratio of the targets.","PeriodicalId":365285,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Radar","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127563946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the estimation of phase difference between signals at target is a key issue. In this paper, an estimation method of phase difference for distributed coherent aperture radar is proposed based on orthogonal signals. The mathematical model of phase difference is developed at first. And then, the estimation method of phase difference based on orthogonal signals is presented. In order to improve the estimation accuracy of phase difference, an improved design of orthogonal signals based on modified cost function is proposed. At last, simulations are carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of proposed method.","PeriodicalId":365285,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Radar","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125041697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the distance and position change of the recovered signals in high-dimension are studied based on the vector decomposition of azimuth echo. Besides, the process of signal recovery and the limit of super-resolution performance in iteration are analyzed. The experiential formula of the super-resolution limit is then derived.

It is therefore of interest to establish whether different forms of wave breaking can be distinguished by their radar signatures.
