Analysis of Micro-Doppler Effect in Frequency-Stepped Chirp Signal Radar

The micro-Doppler (m-D) effect provides a new approach for auto radar target recognition. The frequency-stepped chirp signal makes the fine m-D signatures extraction of target possible because of its high range-resolution capability. Based on the expatiation of the imaging principle of the frequency-stepped chirp signal, the principle of generating the m-D effects in the signal is studied, and the causations of the range profile''s migration and wrapping are analyzed. The similarities and differences of the m-D effects between the chirp signal and the frequency-stepped chirp signal are discussed based on the analysis of the m-D effects caused by the rotation and vibration. The relationship between the parameters of the micro-motion and of the sinusoids on the spectrogram is obtained when the range profile isn''t wrapped. This provides the theoretical basis for the extraction of m-D signatures of radar target with micro-motion structures. The simulations experiments are given to verify the validity of the theoretical analyses.
