Definitions
- This invention relates generally to radar signal processing and more particular to an apparatus and method for determining the range and/or radial velocity of a target.
- radar systems such as pulse Doppler radar systems, are used to determine the range and/or relative velocity (i.e., Doppler velocity) of an object.
- Radar pulses are transmitted at a rate referred to as the pulse repetition frequency (PRF).
- PRF pulse repetition frequency
- PRI pulse repetition interval
- radar return signals are sampled, or gated, by the radar system. That is, based on the difference in time between pulse transmission and the time which the sample is taken, each one of the samples corresponds to a range, or distance, between the radar system and the object producing the sampled return.
- range gating where each time a sample is taken represents a range cell, or gate, of the return produced by the object at the range corresponding to the time at which the sample is taken.
- the time at which the radar return sample is sampled after pulse transmission varies in relation to the relative velocity between the radar system and the object.
- the time at which the radar return is sampled relative to the time the radar pulse was transmitted must increase from radar pulse to radar pulse at a rate proportional to the relative velocity, or Doppler velocity, between the radar system and the object.
- the time at which the radar return is sampled relative to the time the radar pulse was transmitted must decrease from radar pulse to radar pulse at a rate proportional to the Doppler velocity between the radar system and the object.
- the radar returns from a plurality of transmitted radar pulses are processed. More particularly, each set of radar returns from a plurality of consecutively transmitted radar pulses is referred to as a dwell.
- the radar system produces a plurality of consecutive dwells. For each dwell, the radar system determines a plurality of Doppler frequency windows at each of a plurality of contiguous range gates.
- the radar system determines a plurality of Doppler frequency windows at each of a plurality of contiguous range gates to provide a Doppler matrix. If there are N pulses, there are N frequency windows (or bins). The number of range gates corresponds to the number of input samples taken from each PRI. If M input samples are extracted from each of the N PRIs, M discrete Fourier transforms (DFTs) are performed to produce a matrix of M ranges and N frequency windows. Fine Doppler velocity resolution generally requires a large number of radar returns per dwell (i.e., a relatively large data collection period).
- this data collection period translates into a time period during which the object to radar system range can experience a large change. If the range accuracy is less than the object movement over the dwell, some type of dynamic range gate adjustment (i.e., range gate positioning system) is required in order to maintain the range to the object in the middle of each dwell and thereby enable the radar system to track the range to the object with maximum signal to noise ratio.
- range gate positioning system i.e., range gate positioning system
- Radar signals are transmitted as a series of pulses, and each of these pulses along with a time interval allocated to receive the return signals form a coherent processing interval (CPI).
- CPI coherent processing interval
- Each CPI can use different carrier frequencies with a dwell period or dwell cycle being described as a sequence of CPIs.
- Multiple DFTs of received signals during each CPI are commonly employed as a means to enhance target signal to interference ratios. The transforms are, however, difficult to mathematically integrate.
- the radio frequency (RF) shifts among the CPIs cause the target's Doppler frequency to vary.
- the received signals are sorted by frequency into a plurality of filter bins and assigned a filter bin number.
- frequency diversity i.e. varying the carrier frequency of the series of pulses
- Doppler signal leads to an incorrect phase correction which can cause range-rate and range errors.
- NCI non-coherent integration
- a method for processing pulse Doppler radar signals to detect a target includes transmitting radar signals from a radar system having a predetermined varying frequency, receiving signals within a frequency band, including a target return signal having a frequency indicative of the velocity of the target, and transforming the target return signal using a Fourier transform having a variable frequency scale.
- signal detectability is enhanced by non-coherent integration without the need for extensive post processing of the radar return signals to align signal Doppler frequencies.
- the inventive technique takes advantage of integrating multiple dwells to achieve higher sensitivity and uses frequency diversity to enhance target cross section and mitigate RF multipath interference. This technique solves the bin shift problem by effectively changing the DFT equation.
- the modified equation results in a "Target Velocity" normalized version of the signal's spectral content, thus lining up the target return in the same DFT bin for each RF carrier frequency used.
- the technique further includes aligning a radial velocity matrix for non-coherent integration, identifying a plurality of detections which occur from Doppler aliases, and removing Doppler aliases from the plurality of detections.
- velocity ambiguities in systems using relatively high PRFs are resolved.
- the modified technique Fourier transforms the plurality of detections into radial velocity space, which can be set for any desired minimum and maximum limits. Radial velocities appear in the range/Doppler matrix cyclically with different periods for different carrier frequencies. Only at the correct range-rate will the received signals align. Any detections which occur from Doppler aliases are identified and removed from a detection list.
- the unambigous range-rate zone is limited only by processing time. Therefore, any Doppler phase correction can be made for the correct Doppler, reducing the resultant range and radial velocity errors.
- the modified DFT technique transforms time samples into radial velocity space instead of Doppler frequency space.
- the resulting range by radial velocity matrices are pre-aligned for non-coherent integration.
- the limits of the radial velocity are not restricted by the time of the dwell or the number of pulses in the coherent processing interval (CPI). Radial velocity ambiguity resolution is directly determined. Additionally, any Doppler phase correction that is applied is applied in the correct unambiguous Doppler region, reducing the possible range and radial velocity errors.

- NCI Non-coherent integration
- NCI refers to the process of combining using integration of the return signals included in each of several CPIs.
- the signals being combined by NCI include magnitude values only and do not include any phase information.
- the predetermined pulse repetition frequency can be equivalently described as a pulse repetition interval (PRI) between each pair of pulses.
- a dwell is a predetermined amount of time wherein multiple CPIs, each CPI having a different carrier frequency, is transmitted and received by the radar system.
- target Doppler signal refers to a Doppler value or an element in a range- Doppler matrix as a result of processing a return signal from a target using a filter bank or equivalently a discrete Fourier transform (DFT).
- target radial velocity signal refers to a radial velocity value in a range-radial velocity matrix.
- target signal refers to a discernable element in a set of elements resulting from processing a return signal from a target using a filter bank, or equivalently, a discrete Fourier transform (DFT).
- an exemplary pulse Doppler radar system 100 includes an antenna 110 coupled to a transmitter 112 and a receiver 114.
- the system 100 further includes a low pass filter 116 coupled to the receiver 114, an analog to digital converter 118 coupled to the low pass filter 116, and a signal processor 120 coupled to the analog to digital converter 118.
- the signal processor 120 includes a radial velocity fast Fourier transform (FFT) transformer 122.
- the antenna 110 is selectively coupled to the transmitter 112 or the receiver 114 by circulator 111 using known techniques. One purpose of the circulator 111 is to prevent direct coupling between the transmitter 112 and the receiver 114.
- the radial velocity FFT transformer 122 is a replacement for a conventional Doppler frequency FFT transformer and operates as described hereinafter.
- the radial velocity FFT transformer 122 provides a modified DFT given by the following:
- d, ⁇ , ⁇ o is a predetermined wavelength; ⁇ ; is the wavelength of the pulses which comprise CPI # i; Nis the number of pulses processed within one CPI ; k is the frequency increment index; p is the time sample index of the digitized receive signal; X p (k) is the amount of signal return energy in a frequency bin of k*PRF/ ⁇ ; and x p (n) is the time domain received signal, at time sample p, PRI i.
- the frequency increment index, k is limited in Equation 1, to the number of pulses processed within one CPI, here equal to N.
- the desired transmission frequencies are selected.
- Wavelength, ⁇ o is assigned to the highest frequency.
- the next frequency, having wavelength, ⁇ ; forms the ratio:
- variable wavelength scaling factor d ⁇ is equivalent to a corresponding frequency scaling factor because of the inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency.
- This method has the advantage of normalizing the data, exactly during processing. Data post processing (such as would be required with sorting or interpolative routines) is not necessary. Note in this embodiment, if target Doppler frequency exceeds the radar PRF, the transform outputs will no longer align.
- a further refinement in the transform provides multiple Doppler cycles to handle the problem of ambiguous velocities.
- the following transformation normalizes any target with ambiguous velocity of order M:
- M the order of target velocity ambiguity (any positive or negative integer); M is used because there is a limit on the maximum and minimum values for k. M takes integer values as described in conjunction with FIG. 2 according to the following equation:
- a diagram 350 including a plurality of families of curves 352a, 352b-352m illustrates how the transform of Equation 2 aligns the transform outputs for any target Doppler.
- ⁇ the transform of Equation 1 normalizes target velocities that have Doppler frequencies less than the chosen radar PRF.
- ⁇ o is the shortest wavelength employed in the radar. It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that there are varying choices for ⁇ o depending on the system requirements of the radar system.
- This equation shows the filter number, k, which will contain maximum signal energy for an arbitrary velocity, v. Note that it is the equation of a family of straight lines, dependent not only on the target velocity, v, but also on the radar wavelength, ⁇ ;, and the integer M, which we will
- the slope of the straight line has become constant, regardless of which radar wavelength is used.
- three radar dwells are used having the following three distinct wavelengths:
- Equation 9 normalizes targets with velocities within the first the velocity ambiguity, vo (region I having slow target velocities).
- the shifted amount is added to provide:
- Equation 11 This equation is transformed to resemble the original phase angle equation, Equation 10, for maxima i.e., the maximum of the signal values for each detection, by multiplying by d;/N and rearranging terms to provide M as indicated in Equation 3.
- the term e ⁇ 2 ⁇ m ' (also referred to as the DFT phasor) is added to the transform as a weighting function imposed on each sample of the input sequence. Therefore the transformation of Equation 1 and Equation 2 normalizes any target with ambiguous velocity of order M by applying a phase shift weighting function on the received signals such that the DFT phasor is aligned in different regions of the velocity domain.
- the radial velocity FFT transformer 122 provides a DFT derived from the following:
- Equation 12 includes the time of the CPI, T, and the Doppler phase incremental value, ⁇ f° .
- Equation 13 Equation 13 where: n is the pulse repetition interval (PRI) index; m is the CPI index; Nis the number of pulses in a CPI; k is the frequency increment index; p is the time sample index; ⁇ m is the frequency domain of a function, with time index p, frequency index k and
- Equations 12 and 13 the limits for k are specified based on the desired radial velocity range and therefore the term M as used in equation 2 is not required.
- Limits on k, km and k max are defined in Equations 14 and 15. The minimum and maximum values ofk, for each frequency in the NCI, are then determined by the frequency independent equations:
- Equations 12 and 13 use different notation here than in the embodiment of
- Equations 12 and 13 ⁇ is used instead of X. Equations 12 and 13 use both the CPI index and the time or frequency index as subscripts instead of as variables. It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that there are several equivalent methods to express and to practice the inventive modification to the standard DFT. The embodiments using
- Equations 1 and 2 are only two examples of using a discrete Fourier
- Equation 16 in this FFT provides Doppler Frequency normalization for multiple radar CPIs, each taken at a different carrier frequencies.
- the normalization simplifies the identification and "integration" of the resulting radar data.
- a range-rate cell size used by all the carrier frequencies in the dwell is initially determined.
- the Doppler frequency, f d is a function of the range-radial velocity, r , and the operating frequency, C ⁇ . Using the convention that an incoming range-rate has a positive value:
- Af is the standard Doppler frequency spacing
- an exemplary transmitted radar signal 124 includes a plurality of successive burst sequences 126a-126n (generally referred to as burst sequences 126) including a plurality of transmit pulses 128al-128nn and aplurality of corresponding receive intervals 130al- 13 Onn following each of the plurality of transmit pulses 128al-l28nn.
- each burst sequence has a common pulse repetition frequency (PRF) at which the pulses 128al-128nn are transmitted.
- PRF pulse repetition frequency
- the burst sequences 126a-126n are also referred to as a dwell cycle.
- Each burst sequence 126a for example, including the transmit pulses 128al-128an and receive intervals 130al-130an is referred to as a CPI.
- burst sequence 126a' represents the initial burst sequence of a subsequent dwell cycle. As shown in FIG. 3 , burst sequence 126a has a PRF and a first frequency, burst sequence 126b has the same PRF and a second frequency, and burst sequence 126n has the same PRF and a different third frequency for providing frequency diversity.
- a dwell pattern 132 can include a plurality of return signals 138a- 1381 (generally referred to as target return signals 138) in the each of the plurality of receive intervals 130 associated with each of the corresponding to burst sequences 126a-126n.
- the return signals 138 are provided by the transmit pulses 128al -128nn of each CPI of the transmitted radar signal 124 reflecting from an object plus noise.
- the dwell pattern 132 includes a series of successive CPIs 1-N corresponding to burst sequences 126a-126n.
- CPI 1 includes a series of transmitted signals 128al-128an each followed by corresponding receive intervals 130al-130an in which return signals from targets and other objects can be received.
- intervals 130a2 includes the return signals 138a-1381 some of which are a plurality of target return signals 136a-m reflected from targets and some of which are return signals from other objects above a predetermined threshold value.
- the target return signals 136 provide an indication of the range of the target.
- the dwell pattern 132 includes signals transmitted according to a predetermined frequency technique, for example, where the carrier frequency changes by a fixed amount between CPIs as shown as burst sequences 126 in FIG. 3.
- a first CPI 150 having a first carrier frequency FI includes received signals from a target having a radial velocity of r .
- Processing signals received during the first CPI 150 using a conventional FFT results in a spectral component 148 (generally referred to as a Doppler 148).
- the spectrum for frequency FI is divided into a plurality on bins 152a- 152n spaced apart at constant intervals in frequency.
- the Doppler 148 appears in a frequency bin 152b.
- a second CPI 160 having a second frequency F2 includes received signals from the same target having a radial velocity of r .
- Processing signals received during the second CPI 160 using a conventional FFT results in a spectral component 164 (generally referred to as a Doppler 164).
- the spectrum for frequency F2 is divided into a plurality on bins 162a- 162n spaced apart at constant intervals in frequency.
- the Doppler 164 appears in a frequency bin 162c.
- the target has a relatively constant velocity, the Doppler signals 148 and 164 resulting from spectral processing using a conventional FFT fall into different frequency bins and cannot be integrated without additional post processing.
- the spectral estimates of such CPIs are difficult to integrate using conventional processing because the different RF frequencies cause the target Doppler frequency to vary.
- the first CPI 150 shows, for example, a target having a Doppler in frequency bin # 2 and the second CPI 160 shows the target at a different frequency bin # 3.
- a first CPI 170 having a first frequency FI includes received signals from a target having a radial velocity of r .
- Processing signals received during the first CPI 170 using a radial velocity Fourier transformer 122 (FIG. 1) results in a spectral component 168 (generally referred to as a Doppler signal but here referred to as a radial velocity signal 168).
- the spectrum for CPI 170 having frequency FI is divided into a plurality on bins 172a-172n spaced apart at constant intervals in radial velocity.
- the radial velocity signal 168 appears in a radial velocity bin 172b.
- a second CPI 180 having a second frequency F2 includes received signals from the same target having a radial velocity of r .
- Processing signals received during the second CPI 180 using a using a radial velocity Fourier transformer 122 results in a spectral component 184 (generally referred to as a Doppler signal but here referred to as a radial velocity signal 184).
- the spectrum for CPI 180 having frequency F2 is divided into a plurality on bins 182a-182n spaced apart at constant intervals in radial velocity.
- the radial velocity signal 184 appears in a radial velocity bin 182b.
- the radial velocity signals 148 and 164 resulting from spectral processing using the radial velocity Fourier transformer 122 fall into the same radial velocity bins and are aligned in radial velocity.
- the spectral estimates of such CPIs are relatively simple to integrate using the radial velocity Fourier transformer because the Doppler signals have been frequency scaled (or equivalently normalized in radial velocity to the constant target velocity) even though the CPI frequencies vary.
- the first CPI 170 produces, for example, a target at radial velocity bin # 2 and the second CPI 180 also produces the target at the same radial velocity bin # 2.
- the spectral lines will show up at the same points on the radial velocity scale, independent of the frequency scale for CPIs having different frequencies. For example, in FIG. 5 f is located in the same radial velocity bin for both CPI 170 and CPI 180.
- the radial velocity Fourier transformer produces the desired normalized spectral estimate.
- FIGs.6A-6C illustrate one method of eliminating the velocity ambiguity after the return signals have been processed using the by the radial velocity Fourier transformer 122 (FIG. 1).
- a signal 188 includes ambiguous radial velocity signals 190, 192, and 194 resulting from a first CPI sorted into radial velocity frequency bins.
- the radar data has been transformed by the radial velocity Fourier transformer 122 (FIG. 1) using an FFT similar to Equation 13. Because of the ambiguities introduced by the high PRF, the ambiguous radial velocity signals 190 and 194 appear as aliases in bins which are the radial velocity extent of a PRF apart.
- a signal 198 includes ambiguous radial velocity signals 200,
- the radar data has been transformed by the radial velocity Fourier transformer 122 (FIG. 1) using an FFT similar to equation 13.
- the ambiguous radial velocity signals 200 and 204 appear as aliases in bins which are a PRF apart, but due to the change in carrier frequency, the number of radial velocity bins are different.
- the radial velocity bin size has been kept constant. For this example, 140 radial velocity bins equate to a PRF, so the signals appear in bins 122, 362, and 602.
- a signal 208 illustrates the non-coherent integration of the first radial velocity signal 192 and the second radial velocity signal 202 from the CPIs of FIGs. 6A and 6B resulting in the true radial velocity 206 in bin 362 and aliases 190, 200, 204,and 194 in bins 2, 122, 602, and 722 respectively.
- the radial velocity signals can be non-coherently integrated by adding the magnitudes in each corresponding bin.
- the target's velocity relative to the radar can be detected by directly comparing the magnitudes in the radial velocity bins.
- signals 209, 212 and 215 illustrate the radial velocity signals which have been filtered with a clutter notch filter.
- the clutter notch filter is illustrated by clutter filter notches 210a-210n (generally referred to as notches 210) which occur at zero and at fixed radial velocity bin intervals for a first carrier frequency.
- the notches 210 are aligned with the ambiguous radial velocity signal 211 to provide filtered ambiguous radial velocity signal 209 (shown as a dotted line).
- FIG. 1 clutter filter notches 210a-210n
- the clutter notch filter is illustrated by clutter filter notches 214a-214n (generally referred to as notches 214) which occur at zero and at fixed radial velocity bin intervals, here spaced by approximately 240 cells, for a second carrier frequency.
- the notches 214 are not directly aligned with the returns of the ambiguous radial velocity signal 213, and provide the filtered ambiguous radial velocity signal 212.
- the clutter notch filter is further illustrated by clutter filter notches 217a-217n
- notches 217 which occur at zero and at fixed radial velocity bin intervals, here spaced by approximately 270 cells, for a third carrier frequency.
- the notches 217 are not aligned with the ambiguous radial velocity signal 216, and provide filtered ambiguous radial velocity signal 215.
- the notches 210, 214 and 217 occur with different cell spacing because of the different wavelengths for the different carrier frequencies.
- the carrier frequencies are chosen so that aliases of the clutter notch do not align. Therefore the notches 210, 214 and 217 do not cancel the target signal in every CPI.
- signal 218 illustrates the non-coherent integration of signals 209, 212 and 215 resulting in the true radial velocity 219 in bin 362 and aliases 220a-220d, approximately in bins 92, 124, 602, and 634, respectively.
- the periodicity is 360 cells and the target signal is blocked by an alias of the clutter notch.
- periodicity is 240 cells, and the signal is not blocked by an alias of the clutter notch.
- the periodicity is 270 cells and again the signal is not in the alias of the clutter notch.
- the clutter filter notch has the same periodicity as the signal aliases.
- the radial velocity signals can be non-coherently integrated after the notch filter operation by filling the clutter notches to a noise level 221, which can be determined as the local noise level in the region around the notch to remove the effect of a negative signal, and adding the magnitudes in each corresponding bin. It is noted, that there is an increase in the cumulative noise level. For FIGs.

- phase corrections are calculated in radial velocity.
- Radial velocity phase correction provides relatively higher range resolution and signal to noise ratio because the replica for the pulse compression filter no longer needs to be tuned to the correct Doppler so distortion of the compressed pulse does not occur.
- pulse compression is optionally used to direct additional energy at the target using longer signal pulses while retaining the resolution of shorter pulses. By performing the integration in radial velocity space, energy is saved by reducing spreading and providing better side lobes (i.e., reducing range straddle).
- step 312 it is determined whether there are any more CPIs to process. If there are more CPI's, processing resumes at step 300, otherwise processing continues at step 314. At step 312.
- each of the transformed return signals are non-coherently integrated by summing the processed signal magnitude (or magnitude squared depending on the Constant False Alarm Rate discriminator to be used) values in the range-radial velocity matrix which were normalized in radial velocity space by the transformation in step 306.
- step 316 constant false alarm rate techniques are use to detect the true and aliased target returns in radial velocity space.
- step 318 the Doppler aliases are removed, in one embodiment, by applying the following Equation:
- the return signal is processed using known techniques and at step 322 a target report is computed.
- an alternative transmitted radar signal 424 includes a plurality of successive burst sequences 426a-426n (generally referred to as burst sequences 426) including a plurality of transmit pulses and a plurality of corresponding receive intervals following each of the plurality of transmit pulses.
- each burst sequence has a different pulse repetition frequency (PRF) and a different earlier frequency at which the pulses 128al-128nn are transmitted.
- PRF pulse repetition frequency
- the processing for the pulse compression in this embodiment utilizes the Fourier transform of Equations 2, and 3 or Equations 12 and 13 to provide the same number of range samples in the matrix and the changing PRF is included in the calculation of the additional constant in the DFT.
- the transmitted signals can further include either frequency modulated
- a signal processor coupled to a receiver could process received signals using a discrete Fourier Transform having a variable frequency scale.
- a signal processor coupled to a receiver could process received signals using a discrete Fourier Transform having a variable frequency scale.
- Such an apparatus includes a transmitter which transmits a signal to a receiver having a first series of pulses having a first coherent processing interval and a second series of pulses having a different carrier frequency and having a second coherent processing interval, and the receiver would be adapted to receive and integrate the transformed signals.
