Gaussian Short-Time Fractional Fourier Transform Based Detection Algorithm of Target with Micro-Motion at Sea
The attitude of target at sea may vary with the fluctuation of sea surface
which induces the effect of power modulation of radar echo
and also the Doppler reflects time-varying and nonstationary properties.In this paper
micro-Doppler theory is applied to weak target detection within sea clutter
and an algorithm of detecting micro-motion target at sea is proposed via Gaussian short-time fractional Fourier transform (GSTFRFT).Firstly
signal model of target on the sea surface is established including translation and 3-D rotation movements.Then
radar returns are selected based on sea spikes identification for better signal-to-clutter ratio.Moreover
micro-motion signal is enhanced via GSTFRFT
and signature differences between target and sea clutter are utilized for designing constant false alarm ratio detector.Finally
micro-motion signature and instantaneous frequency can be extracted and obtained by filtering in GSTFRFT domain.Simulation results with real datasets validate the effectiveness of the algorithm
which is qualified for detecting weak target in strong sea clutter environment.
