Abstract

This paper considers the coherent integration problem of detecting weak maneuvering targets in passive radar using digital television terrestrial broadcasting (DTTB) signals. By dividing the continuous DTTB echoes into multiple segments, the generalized Radon-Fourier transform (GRFT) which was proposed to realize coherent integration of maneuvering targets for pulse Doppler radar can be utilized in DTTB-based passive radar. The GRFT can obtain ideal coherent integration gain but suffers a heavy computational burden. In this paper, a fast implementation algorithm of GRFT using the modified wind driven optimization (MWDO) is proposed. Compared with the existing particle swarm optimization (PSO) method, the proposed method can achieve better detection performance with a similar computational cost in DTTB-based passive radar. Several numerical experiments are also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
