An algorithm for micro-Doppler period estimation

Radar micro-Doppler signatures are important in identification of properties of unknown targets. Many applications in real world scenarios require estimation of micro-Doppler parameters. Micro-Doppler oscillation period is one of its important parameters. A new algorithm for micro-Doppler oscillation period estimation based on time frequency signal analysis is proposed. Its functionality and theoretical considerations are evaluated using synthetic data, and numerical results are presented.
