Simultaneous range and radial velocity estimation with a single narrowband LFM pulse

The mismatch effect induced by the radial motion of a target is analyzed for linear frequency modulated (LFM) signals. Then, a novel integrated processing scheme is proposed to resolve the delay-Doppler coupling effect in LFM pulse compression. Therefore the range and radial velocity of the target can be simultaneously estimated with a narrowband LFM pulse. Finally, numerical simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and good performance of the proposed method.
