The invention provides a cluster target
staring detection method based on distance-Doppler two-dimensional sequential filtering, belongs to the technical field of
radar detection, and is mainly used for solving the problem of detecting cross-distance-Doppler unit dense group targets by a
staring radar. According to the method, firstly, cluster target distance migration is eliminated based on Keystone transformation, and then a potential distance unit of a cluster target is extracted through low-threshold coherent detection, so that the number of subsequent long-time accumulation
processing times is reduced; secondly, positioning a highest-energy target on a potential distance unit of the group target with a high
detection threshold by using a long-time coherent accumulation method jointly constrained by operation complexity and detection probability, and completing
estimation of the distance, the speed and the acceleration of the target; further, a distance-Doppler two-dimensional combined wave gate is designed to eliminate the
shielding effect of the target on space adjacent targets in the group; and finally, realizing detection and parameter
estimation of all cluster individuals in a sequential filtering mode.
