Abstract

Application of spectrum enhance technique for slow flying target detection in radar

In recent times, with the development of unmanned aerial vehicles capable of operating at low-speed ranges. This causes difficult problems in managing this type of target for older-generation radar systems designed primarily to detect high-speed flying targets. This article proposes a solution to apply a spectral enhancement technique in the near-zero velocity region to detect slow-flying targets by applying the chirp Z transform to enhance the spectrum in the region of interest to increase resolution for low-velocity target detection processing.
