A Doppler aliasing free micro-motion parameter estimation method in the terahertz band

Abstract Micro-Doppler, induced by micro-motion of targets, is an important characteristic for target recognition once extracted via parameter estimation. However, micro-Doppler is usually too significant to result in aliasing in the terahertz band. According to this problem, a Doppler aliasing free...

Description
Summary:Abstract Micro-Doppler, induced by micro-motion of targets, is an important characteristic for target recognition once extracted via parameter estimation. However, micro-Doppler is usually too significant to result in aliasing in the terahertz band. According to this problem, a Doppler aliasing free micro-motion parameter estimation method based on the modulo Generalized Hough transform is proposed in this paper. Its basic idea is to search and match the parameters of aliasing micro-Doppler curves in the time-frequency distribution image. The high estimation precision and excellent noise immunity of this method are verified through simulations based on CST data and experiments based on a 0.33 THz radar system.
