From the traditional perspective, average HRRP is a valid template for it can represent each HRRP without scatterer Moving Through Range Cell (MTRC). However, template database based on this assumption is always challenged by measured data. One reason is that speckle happens in the frame without scatterer MTRC. Speckle makes HRRP fluctuate sharply and not match well with the average HRRP. We precisely introduce the formation mechanism of speckle. Then, we make an insight into the principle of matching score. Based on the conclusion, we study the properties of matching score between speckled HRRP and the average HRRP. The theoretical analysis and Monte Carlo experimental results demonstrate that speckle makes HRRP not to match well with the average HRRP according to the energy ratio of speckled scatterers. On the assumption of ideal scattering centre model, speckled HRRP has a matching score less than 85% with the average HRRP if speckled scatterers occupy more than 50% energy of the target.展开更多

In the traditional viewpoint,HRRPs are assumed to be highly similar if the aspect variation is not enough to cause range migration. However,some experiments in anechoic chambers don’t agree with the assumption. Particularly,some abnormal HRRPs often occur in the measured data. Based on the scattering center model,this paper focuses on the reason of abnormal HRRP,which is named as the speckle. The theoretical model of speckle is established and the "spurious dual peaks" feature of the speckled HRRP is analyzed. Then the occurrence condition of speckle is concluded,and so is the relationship between the speckle probability in HRRP and radar carrier frequency. At last,the experiment in an anechoic chamber is used to verify all the analyses about the speckle.展开更多
