High-Precision Wideband Phase-Derived Velocity Measurement for Micro-Motion Extraction

A phase-derived velocity measurement method is proposed in a wideband coherent system,based on a precise echo model considering the inner pulse Doppler effect caused by fast moving targets.The Cramer-Rao low band of velocity measurement precision is deduced,demonstrating the high precision of the proposed method.Simulations and out-field experiments further validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in high-precision measurement and micro-motion extraction for targets with weak reflection intensity.Compared with the long-time integration approaches for velocity measurement,the phase-derived method is easy to implement and meets the requirement for high data rate,which makes it suitable for micro-motion feature extraction in wideband systems.

低信噪比条件下基于距离像互相关的相推测速方法

相推测速技术可以实现相位量级的测量精度,在微动测量和目标识别领域有着极大的应用前景。该方法对信噪比要求较高,且存在准确提取相位和解相位模糊两大难点。本文提出了针对低信噪比条件下的相推测速实现方法。首先,建立了宽带线性调频信号去斜处理的回波模型;然后推导了相邻帧距离像互相关结果,并分析了距离像互相关输出的峰值点相位;进而为了提高相推测速在低信噪比条件下的适用性,提出了对距离像互相关结果沿慢时间维进行积累的方法,该方法可以重新提取峰值点相位,以及获得目标速度的粗估计值进而辅助后续的解相位模糊。此外,为抑制噪声对相位提取精度的影响,本文提出根据相位的频谱特性设计滤波器的方法,进一步提高相推测速的精度。最后通过仿真和实测数据验证了所提方法的正确性及其在低信噪比条件下的适用性。
