High range resolution MMW radar target recognition approaches with application

In our work summarized in this paper, a systematic study is performed about theoretical approaches and techniques for high resolution radar target recognition in guidance application. The method of Doppler compensation for moving target discrimination and the method of rule-based pattern recognition for vehicle-sized target identification are firstly introduced. Then the pattern recognition approach based on adaptive matched-filters is studied for target recognition when the radial length of target range profile is not long enough. Finally, the experimental results of recognition of tank target are given.
