wherein zero frequency f 0 =0hz, fundamental frequency f 1 =500 KHz, harmonic f n =n×500KHz;
From the Fourier series theory, the harmonic order n>10 engineering bandwidth of ideal echo signal B r =5MHz。

after low-pass filtering, the mirror image spectrum introduced by digital sampling is removed;
and (3) matched filtering calculation:wherein design parameters->P τ Is at the sampling frequency f s The number of samples in the duration of the down-narrow pulse.

further improved, the dynamic range tracking interception of the distance-Doppler matrix data comprises the following steps:
converting the distance-pulse matrix E (p) into a distance-Doppler matrix F (p), the x column elements of F (p) being denoted as F p (: x), the magnification factor of the x-th column S (x) =2 λ(x) Wherein λ (x) is f p The number of extension symbol bits of the element with the largest absolute value in x.
