Research on micro-feature extraction algorithm of target based on terahertz radar

摘要

Micro-Doppler motion of a target is an important characteristic in high-resolution radar observation. The target feature extraction of micro motion has already been applied to many aspects of radar research. In this article, general model is established for the echo signal of a target with micro-motion. Combination of time-frequency analysis method, a method using Radon transformation to detect the parameters of lines and sinusoidal curves to estimate motion parameters of target is proposed, and the estimation of reflection coefficients of scatterers is completed through nonlinear least squares and CLEAN algorithm. The simulation result shows that this method of Radon transformation has the advantages of high precision and strong anti-noise and can extract the parameters well. The model of echo signal and method of parameter estimation are useful for radar target detection and identification.
