Superresolution Doppler Estimation using UWB Random Noise Signals and MUSIC

The application of the superresolution multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm is extended to overcome the Doppler frequency estimation limitations due to the Fourier transform- (FT-) based techniques for ultrawideband (UWB) random noise radar signals. Simulated and experimental results are compared for single and multiple moving targets within a range bin, for narrowband (200 MHz) and UWB (1 GHz) noise radar signals. The simulated percentage error in Doppler estimation is parameterized as a function of the velocity ratio of two targets in a given range bin.
