High Accuracy Parameter Estimation for Advanced Radar Identification of Electronic Intelligence System
Abstract
Radar identification is one of the vital operations in an electronic intelligence system. The conventional methods based on basic parameters comparison of unique identification of a radar in a cluster of similar radars, is prone to ambiguities. To meet the current tactical requirements of unique identification of a radar, the methodology needs to be based on better feature extraction, even in low SNR conditions. The paper explores a novel technique based on moving autocorrelation for the extraction of intra-pulse and inter-pulse radar parameters. Extensive simulation and empirical studies have been carried out to establish the approach to extend accurate radar parameters in noisy and low SNR conditions. The technique is found to be promising even in field data conditions. The paper describes the methodology, simulation results, FPGA implementation using system generator and resource utilisation summary.
