Radar target recognition based on micro-Doppler effect

Mechanical vibration of target structures will modulate the phase function of radar backscattering, and will induce the frequency modulation of returned signals from the target. It generates a side bands of the target body Doppler frequency shift, which is helpful for target recognition. Based on this, a micro-Doppler atomic storehouse is built for the target recognition, and four kinds of common classifiers are used separately to perform the classified recognition. The simulation experimental results show that this method has high recognition rate above 90%.
