Synthesizing high resolution profile based on correlation coefficient for stepped-frequency radar

This paper mainly focuses on synthesizing high resolution profile for stepped-frequency radar signal. A novel method based on correlation coefficient is presented. Compared to traditional methods, the limitation of the frequency step size is relaxed. It means that the same range resolution can be achieved with less pulse number, thus reducing the complexity of the system design. Finally, the simulation data is used to demonstrate the performance of this proposed method.
