A new approach to micro-Doppler signal analysis is presented in this article. Novel chirp rate estimators in the time-frequency domain were used for this purpose, which provided the chirp rate of micro-Doppler signatures, allowing the classification of objects in the urban environment. As an example verifying the method, a signal from a high-resolution radar with a linear frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) recording an echo reflected from a pedestrian was used to validate the proposed algorithms for chirp rate estimation. The obtained results are plotted on saturated accelerograms, giving an additional parameter dedicated for target classification in security systems utilizing radar sensors for target detection.
This paper proposes an algorithm for multi-channel SAR ground moving target detection and estimation using the Fractional Fourier Transform(FrFT). To detect the moving target with low speed, the clutter is first suppressed by Displace Phase Center Antenna(DPCA), then the signal-to-clutter can be enhanced. Have suppressed the clutter, the echo of moving target remains and can be regarded as a chirp signal whose parameters can be estimated by FrFT. FrFT, one of the most widely used tools to time-frequency analysis, is utilized to estimate the Doppler parameters, from which the moving parameters, including the velocity and the acceleration can be obtained. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by the simulation.
