Extended Range Profiling in Stepped-Frequency Radar with Sparse Recovery (1009.4969v3)
Published 25 Sep 2010 in cs.IT and math.IT
Abstract: The newly emerging theory of compressed sensing (CS) enables restoring a sparse signal from inadequate number of linear projections. Based on compressed sensing theory, a new algorithm of high-resolution range profiling for stepped-frequency (SF) radar suffering from missing pulses is proposed. The new algorithm recovers target range profile over multiple coarse-range-bins, providing a wide range profiling capability. MATLAB simulation results are presented to verify the proposed method. Furthermore, we use collected data from real SF radar to generate extended target high-resolution range (HRR) profile. Results are compared with `stretch' based least square method to prove its applicability.
