It has been shown theoretically and practically that coherent integration is an effective method for moving target detection. Unfortunately, its performance is seriously damaged by the unknown range and/or Doppler frequency migrations in a coherent processing interval. To handle such a problem, a moving target detector with the coherent integration of Bayesian-inferred motion trajectories is proposed in this paper. Analyses show that by flipping the range-frequency of the pulse compressed echo signal, the time-frequency signal describing the motion trajectories of the detected targets in the slow-time domain is got by the inverse Fourier transform of the product of the original echo signal and the flipped one. When the time-frequency signal is observed and its phases describing the detected moving target trajectories are regarded as state variables, a state space model for inferring the motion trajectories of multiple targets is given. Based on the inferred target trajectories, the range-frequency-slow-time 2D matched filters are constructed to compensate the unknown range and/or Doppler frequency migrations in an echo signal. Numerical simulation results verify that the proposed method can be applied to high speed/maneuvering targets with unknown complex motion form, and has superior performance than the methods reported in the literature.
