Abstract:

An identification method of radar targets based on improved Dijkstra algorithm with time-frequency domain filtering is proposed to solve the problem that the accuracy of micro-Doppler feature extraction of radar targets in the middle of the trajectory is not high, resulting in low target recognition rates. The improved Dijkstra algorithm is used for extracting the instantaneous Doppler features of the strongest component in the multi-component echo signal. Then the strongest component is filtered through the time-frequency domain filter. So the instantaneous Doppler features of the multi-component signal can be extracted in proper sequence, and features are applied to identify radar targets in the middle of the trajectory. The simulation results demonstrate that this method is suitable for a variety of micro-motion forms, the micro-Doppler features of the echo signal have higher accuracy, and the average recognition rate of radar targets in the middle of the trajectory is increased effectively.

Key words: radar automatic target recognition (RATR), micro-Doppler, Dijkstra algorithm, time-frequency domain filtering
