Coherent Integration With Range Migration Using Keystone Formatting

We have developed and demonstrated the Keystone format to simultaneously remove linear range migration for all targets regardless of their velocities. Higher order motion and under sampling foldover can be removed by hypotheses. The authors present an approach to radar matched filtering which can produce simultaneous high range and high Doppler resolution matched filter outputs. The new matched filter coherently integrates the radar data even though the target scatterers move through many range resolution cells during the coherent integration time.
