Abstract
Radar signal processor for the detection of fast moving targets having small radar cross-sections. A method and apparatus is used to analyze a target that may travel through many range cells during coherent integration time. By transforming the pulse return data into the spatial frequency domain, range bin migration problems have been solved. The signal to noise ratio is also improved thereby permitting the detection of small targets. The processing consists of three major steps: performing an FFT for each pulse to yield spatial frequency components for each return; performing a special DFT for each spatial frequency yielding constant velocity output for each spatial frequency; and finally performing an inverse FFT to obtain target velocity and position.
