Target identification using bistatic high‐resolution range profiles

Abstract

A novel target identification scheme that utilises high‐resolution range profiles (HRRPs), which are obtained using bistatic (BS) radar (BS‐HRRPs) and four‐dimensional (4D) parameter sets (PSs), is described. These PSs uniquely determine the BS‐HRRPs. In the proposed scheme, a new feature to cope with the scale variances of the BS‐HRRPs is devised by using the RELAX algorithm and the resampling process. In addition, a proper classifier to effectively exploit both the BS‐HRRPs and 4D PSs is designed to improve the BS identification capability.
