Abstract

A Stepped Frequency Radar(SFR) is a method of achieving high range resolution by gradually increasing the frequency of a transmitted pulse to create a wide synthetic bandwidth. However, in the case of moving target, accurate range estimation can not be performed due to the range-Doppler coupling phenomenon, so it is necessary to compensate through accurate velocity estimation. In this paper, we propose a stepped frequency radar waveform with a Coherent Pulse Train(CPT), velocity estimation results according to parameters using this method and VMD(Velocity Measurement Data) were compared and analyzed by numerical simulations.

계단 주파수 레이더(Stepped Frequency Radar: SFR)는 송신 펄스의 주파수를 점진적으로 증가시켜 넓은 합성 대역폭을 만듦으로써 높은 거리 해상도를 얻는 방식이다. 그런데 이동표적의 경우 거리-도플러 결합(range-Doppler coupling) 현상으로 정확한 거리 추정을 할 수 없게 되므로 정확한 속도 추정을 통한 보상이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 코히어런트 펄스열(Coherent Pulse Train: CPT)을 갖는 계단 주파수 레이더 파형을 제안하고, 이를 이용한 속도 추정 및 파라미터에 따른 결과를 기존의 VMD(Velocity Measurement Data) 방식과 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교하고 분석하였다.
