Multi-Frequency Radar Signal Processing for Moving Target Detection

This paper presents algorithms for joint signal processing of data from two radars located on the rooftop of TU Delft: PARSAX, operating in S-band, and MESEWI, operating in X-band [1]. In particular, the problem of data alignment in space (2D map) and time is addressed by observing moving targets of opportunity in the high-resolution mode. After the data alignment procedure, the detection algorithms for optimal fusing of dual-polarization and multi-frequency data are proposed. The detection results are considered the input for moving target (an auto) tracking and its signature extraction. The developed techniques were tested on the data records in experimental scenarios.
