Abstract

We consider the problem of estimating range about unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm target. The main challenges are small radar cross-section (RCS) and high target density. In this paper, for better accumulation, we focus the original beat signal by Focus-Before-Detect (FBD) and obtain the velocity. Based on the velocity, we form a compensation matrix to eliminate the range migration (RM). Then, a novel range super-resolution algorithm based on the gridless sparse method is implemented that improves the range resolution to a great extent. Experimental results based on simulated and real measured data are carried out to demonstrate the accuracy of the model and the effectiveness of the algorithm.
