The side peaks may cause the false alarms. The relative positions and the reasons for the side peaks are analyzed and a new algorithm for side peaks suppression is proposed in this paper. The algorithm, in consideration of the characteristics of the structure of the frame, can eliminate the side peaks completely in the valid Doppler observation interval by setting the reference signals to zero at equal intervals. Both the simulative and experimental results show that this algorithm can improve the performance of target detection of the passive radar based on DTTB signal.展开更多

Recent research indicates the potential pa- rameter estimate performance of bistatic MIMO radars. And this ambiguity function can be used to analyze the parameter estimate performance for the relationship with the Cramer-Rao bounds of the estimated parameters. Finally, some examples are given to demonstrate the good parameter estimate performance of the bistatic MIMO radar, using the quasi-orthogonal waveforms based on Lorenz chaotic systems.展开更多

The low-pass anti-aliasing filter in zoom FFT is realized by using the multistage filtering technique and the weighting processing is employed in the first stage filter to get rid of the redundancy of the computation. In practical systems, the input data is divided into overlapped data frames to avoid loss of detection ability which results in the rapid increase of computational complexity. A segment technique is also proposed in which CAF calculation of overlapped data frames is viewed as slide window FFT to decrease the computational complexity. The experimental results show that compared to the conventional methods, the proposed method can lower computational complexity and is consistent with the real time implementation in existing high-speed digital processors.展开更多
