A Fast Maneuvering Target Motion Parameters Estimation Algorithm Based on ACCF

摘要

This letter considers the motion parameters estimation problem for a maneuvering target with arbitrary parameterized motion. The slant range of the target is modeled as a polynomial function in terms of its multiple motion parameters and a fast estimation method based on adjacent cross correlation function (ACCF) is proposed, where the iterative adjacent cross correlation operation is employed to remove the range migration and reduce the order of Doppler frequency migration. Then the motion parameters are estimated via Fourier transform. Compared with the generalized Radon Fourier transform (GRFT), the proposed method can estimate the parameters without searching procedure and acquire close estimation performance at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with a much lower computational cost. Finally, simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness.
