Wideband Echo Doppler and Time Delay Estimation Method Based on Sigmoid Transform in Impulsive Noise Environment

Abstract

Aiming at the failure of the fractional-order Fourier transform algorithm in the impulsive noise environment, the present invention utilizes a nonlinear transform-Sigmoid transform to suppress the interference of the impulsive noise, and utilizes the energy aggregation characteristics of the fractional-order Fourier transform to propose a A new method for joint estimation of Doppler frequency shift spread factor and time delay for LFM pulsed radar. First, the Sigmoid transform is combined with the fractional Fourier transform, and a sigmoid-based fractional Fourier transform (Sigmoid‑FRFT) is proposed. Next, the joint estimation of Doppler frequency shift spreading factor and time delay is realized by Sigmoid‑FRFT peak point search. This method does not require prior knowledge of noise, and has strong tolerance to noise with low signal-to-noise ratio. Experimental results show that the method has higher parameter estimation accuracy and lower computational complexity under impulse noise.
