Abstract

The traditional method is capable of detecting and tracking stationary and slow-moving targets in a sea surface environment. However, the signal focusing capability of such a method could be greatly reduced especially for those variable-speed targets. To solve this problem, a novel tracking algorithm combining range envelope alignment and azimuth phase filtering is proposed. In this method, the motion of the airborne maritime surveillance radar platform is firstly compensated for target echoes. Secondly, range envelope alignment is performed to correct the unpredictable range migration of the target after pulse compression. The higher-order phase difference between the adjacent pulses is estimated and compensated. Ultimately, such pulse series are accumulated through azimuth Fourier transform. Traditional methods compensate only for platform motion, limiting their ability to handle variable-speed targets. The proposed algorithm addresses this limitation by compensating for both platform and target motion, significantly improving signal focusing and tracking accuracy. A detailed analysis shows that our algorithm can significantly increase the signal accumulating gain and improve the focusing effect. The simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

期刊介绍: Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220) provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of sensors and biosensors. It publishes reviews (including comprehensive reviews on the complete sensors products), regular research papers and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
