Abstract :
The problem of detecting moving targets which migrate between rang cells is considered. The traditional MTD method can not effectively integrate the energy of targets, because it integrates multi-pulse in the same range cell in a CPI. This paper introduces a novel algorithm of coherent integration for moving target detection (MTCI), which is calculated along the track of the moving target. A mathematical formula of MTCI algorithm is derived based on the signal model of a moving target in Chirp Radar. The integrating results of MTCI and MTD methods in the Gaussian white noise background are also compared. A Monte Carlo simulation has been performed to evaluate the detecting performance of MTCI algorithm, and the detection curves are also given.
