The radar with less emission has more excellent performance of the low probability of intercept（LPI）. In order to reduce the emission times of the radar, a novel sensor selection strategy based on an improved interacting multiple model particle filter（IMMPF） tracking method is presented. Firstly the IMMPF tracking method is improved by increasing the weight of the particle which is close to the system state and updating the model probability of every particle. Then a sensor selection approach for LPI takes use of both the target＇s maneuverability and the state＇s uncertainty to decide the radar＇s radiation time. The radar will work only when the target＇s maneuverability and the state＇s uncertainty exceed the control capability of the passive sensors. Tracking accuracy and LPI performance are demonstrated in the Monte Carlo simulations.展开更多

This algorithmfirst applies a keystone transform based improved discretepolynomial-phase transform （KT-IDPT） to estimate the Dopplerchirp rate. Then, based on the estimated Doppler chirp rate,dechirping and envelope translation are performed on the partialcorrelation results to correct the spectrum spread and the codephase curvature. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposedmethod has low integration loss and computational burden.展开更多
