A Coherent Integration Method via Radon-NUFrFT for Random PRI Radar

To deal with the problems of range cell migration (RCM) and spectrum spread during the integration time induced by the motion of a target, this paper proposes a new coherent integration method based on Radon nonuniform fractional Fourier transform (NUFrFT) for random pulse repetition interval radar. In this method, RCM is eliminated via searching in the motion parameter space and the spectrum spread is resolved by NUFrFT along the searching trajectory. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
