Abstract:

In order to improve the detection performance of LFMCW radar under complex background, the echo signal characteristics in the one- and two-dimensional frequency domain are analyzed and a new moving target detection method is presented. This method transforms the signal into the two-dimensional frequency domain and detects the moving target by using the 2-dimensional CFAR algorithm, which eliminates the interferences from complex background. After detection, by utilizing the information in the 2-dimensional frequency domain, the target range, velocity and azimuth angle are acquired and trajectory is measured. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.

Key words: linear frequency modulated continuous wave radar, two-dimension constant false alarm rate, moving target trajectory
