Abstract

In this paper, a method based on RELAX is presented for detecting the multicomponent air maneuvering targets with the strong clutter background. This method combines the technique of reconstructing time samples with RELAX and effectively suppresses the interferences by stronger targets on the detection of weak targetsr. Therefore, the detection performance and parameter estimation precision of the multicomponent targets are enhanced at the same time. The method can provide an accurate estimate of the parameters even when the data sample is limited. At the same time, the Cramer-Rao bounds (CRBs) for the multicomponent maneuvering targets in airborne radar are derived. The effectiveness of the method is verified via simulated data.
