The improvement of the capability to detect moving target with very small radar signature is usually realized by long term accumulation.According to the design principle of conventional PD (Pulse Doppler) radar
target's range migration can't exceed half of the range resolution cell in coherent integration time
which means that the accumulation time is restrained by target's motion.For high range resolution radar or the radar system focusing on the detection of fast moving targets
such a restriction is difficult to satisfy.In this paper
a novel motion compensation method based on keystone transform is presented
which can correct range migration without the exact value of target velocity
and as a result
make the accumulation time free of the restriction due to target motion.
