Abstract
This paper describes an ambiguity resolving approach for slant-range velocity estimation which utilizes the wideband characteristic of the transmitted signal (multiple wavelengths). Based on the wavelength dual-wavelength radar data. Then, two effective approaches are introduced to focus the moving target no matter the Doppler ambiguity exists or not. The slant-range velocity is estimated by the number of azimuth cell displacements between the two focused images. Both imaging methods have different properties and advantages. A performance analysis is made, and deleterious factors in practice are analyzed in detail. The effectiveness of the unambiguous slant-range velocity estimation approach is demonstrated with the use of simulated and real data.
