Abstract
A single pulse imaging (SPI) radar system for creating a radar image from a plurality of Doppler phase-shifted return radar signals in a radar environment of moving targets includes a transmitter; a receiver for receiving a radar return signal; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled to the output of the receiver; a processor, coupled to the output of the ADC, that is programmed with an SPI algorithm that includes a bank of range/Doppler-dependent adaptive RMMSE-based filters; and a target detector. The algorithm estimates adaptively a range profile for each of the Doppler phase-shifted return radar signals to create the radar image of the moving targets.
