Abstract

En 中文
To enlarge the maximum unambiguous Doppler of saw-tooth frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar without reducing the range resolution, an algorithm of extracting the unambiguous Doppler information for fast-moving targets in saw-tooth FMCW radar is proposed in this article based on density-guided sparse reconstruction. A novel nonuniform chirp sequence with continuous interval variation is designed to realize spectral anti-aliasing at sub-Nyquist rates. The density of each scatterer can be calculated from the preprocessing result with nonstructured noise introduced by a nonuniform chirp sequence, and then, the matrix of sparse regularization parameter can be determined through the density map. The proposed method is able to reconstruct the range-Doppler spectrum correctly with extended unambiguous Doppler and unreduced range resolution. Compared to the existing methods for extending the maximum unambiguous Doppler of saw-tooth FMCW radar, the proposed method works well in multitarget scenarios. Compared to existing sparsity-driven signal processing methods for saw-tooth FMCW radar, the proposed method can enhance the reconstruction ability of weak targets. Simulations and experiments on real measured saw-tooth FMCW radar data demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
