Firstly, detection and parameter estimation of multi-component LFM signal were used by discrete fast fractional Fourier transform （FrFT）. Then the expression of chirp-rate resolution in fractional Fourier domain （FrFD） was deduced from discrete normalize time-frequency distribution, when multi-component LFM signal had only one center frequency. Furthermore, the detail influence of the sampling time, sampling frequency and chirp-rate upon the resolution was analyzed by partial differential equation. Simulation results and analysis indicate that increasing the sampling time can enhance the resolution, but the influence of the sampling frequency can he omitted. What＇s more, in multi-component LFM signal, the chirp-rate resolution of FrFT is no less than a minimal value, and it mainly dependent on the biggest value of chirp-rates, with which it has an approximately positive exponential relationship.展开更多

For the optimization in the fractional Fourier domain, an algorithm based on Quasi-Newton method is proposed which consists of two steps of searching, leading to a reduction in computation without loss of accuracy.

The frequency axis in time-frequency plane of the CFRFT is rotated to get the spectrum of the signal in different an- gles using chirp multiplication and Fourier transform （FT）. For LFM signal which distributes as a straight line in time-frequency plane, the CFRFT can gather the energy in the corresponding angle as a peak and improve the detection SNR, thus the LFM signal of low SNR can be de- tected. Meanwhile, the location of the peak value relates to the parameters of the LFM signal. Numerical simulations and experimental results show that, the proposed method can be used to efficiently detect the LFM signal masked by noise and to estimate the signal＇s parameters accurately. Compared with the conventional fractional Fourier transform （FRFT）, the CFRFT reduces the transform complexity and improves the real-time detection performance of LFM signal.展开更多
