Decoupling the Doppler Ambiguity Interval from the Maximum Operational Range and Range-Resolution in FMCW Radars

Classical saw-tooth Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radars experience a coupling between the maximum unambiguous Doppler-velocity interval, maximum operational range, range-resolution and processing gain. Operationally, a trade-off is often necessarily made between these parameters. In this paper, we propose a waveform and a...

Reconfigurable Range-Doppler Processing and Range Resolution Improvement for FMCW Radar

A reconfigurable range-Doppler processing method for FMCW radar is presented. By concatenating beat-frequency signals from more than one sweep, a continuous beat-frequency signal for the whole coherent processing interval (CPI) can be created. As a result, continuous targets' observation time is extended beyond that of a single chirp duration...

Unambiguous sparse recovery of migrating targets with a robustified Bayesian model

The problem considered is that of estimating unambiguously migrating targets observed with a wideband radar. We extend a previously described sparse Bayesian algorithm to the presence of diffuse clutter and off-grid targets. A hybrid-Gibbs sampler is formulated to jointly estimate the sparse target amplitude vector, the grid mismatch, and the...

Detection of range migrating targets in compound-Gaussian clutter

This paper deals with the problem of coherent radar detection of fast moving targets in a high range resolution mode. In particular, we are focusing on the spiky clutter modeled as a compound Gaussian process with rapidly varying power along range. Additionally, a fast moving target of interest has a few range cells migration within the coherent...
