Abstract

Abstract:

Blind speed side lobe (BSSL) in the long time coherent integration method of Radon-Fourier transform (RFT) can not only increase false alarm probability but also deteriorate radar detection performance. To address the BSSL problem, this paper proposes a novel BSSL suppression method based on the multi-carrier frequency design of a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar. First, based on the relationship between the carrier frequency and the distribution of BSSL, the non-overlapping constraint of BSSL is derived. Then, the multi-carrier frequency design method is provided in detail according to the constraint. By using the designed carrier frequencies, two RFT outputs with non-overlapping BSSL can be obtained. By jointly processing the RFT outputs, BSSL suppression can be realized. Furthermore, an evaluation method of the BSSL suppression is also provided. Both theoretical analysis and numerical experiments show that the proposed method can effectively suppress BSSL without deteriorating the integration performance of the RFT.

Key words: MIMO radar, long time coherent integration, Radon-Fourier transform, blind speed side lobe suppression, carrier frequency design
