Abstract:

Existing methods for three-dimensional micro-motion characteristics of space targets based on multi-base radar observations have problems such as high deployment costs and high difficulty in data processing. To address this problem, a method for three-dimensional micro-motion parameters estimation of precession cone-cylinder targets based on monostatic radar is proposed. On the basis of analyzing the micro-Doppler effect of the echo from fixed scatterers and sliding scatterers on the precession cone-cylinder, first, the micro-motion parameters such as the precession angle and the bottom radius of the target are extracted based on the fixed scatterer model. Then, the three-dimensional micro-motion parameters such as the height of the cone, the height of the cylinder, and the semi-cone angle of the cone-cylinder target are further extracted by utilizing the sliding scattering characteristics of the joint surface of cone and cylinder. The proposed method accurately extracts the micro-motion parameters and geometric information of cone-cylinder targets. Simulation experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed method and its performance under different signal-to-noise ratios.

Key words: three-dimensional micro-motion characteristics, precession cone-cylinder, monostatic radar, micro-Doppler effect
