Abstract-Linear Frequency Modulated ContinuousWaveform (LFMCW) is one of the most common waveforms used in low probability of intercept (LPI) radars. The WignerHough transform (WHT) is a powerful technique for detection and parameter extraction of LFMCW waveforms that can be employed by Electronic Support Receivers. For a fast detection and a timely response to the adversary emitter, the selection of the pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution (PWVD) window length is critical. In this work we analyze the relation between PWVD window length, WHT span angle and span resolution. It is shown that faster correct detections can be achieved by decreasing the PWVD window length and consequently decreasing the WHT plane. A rapid detection and apiori estimation of target emitter signal chirp rate will allow enough time for a fine tuned postprocessing which can be applied specifically to the a priori estimates.
Özetçe-YakalanmaOlasılığı Düşük Radarlarda yaygın olarak kullanılan Doğrusal Frekans Modülasyonlu Sürekli Dalga formunun Wigner Hough Dönüşümü temelli yöntemlerle kestirimine yönelik çalışmalarda düşük SNR değerlerinde (-8dB ve aşağısında) elde edilen performansın, daha az işlem yoğunluğu ile elde edilmesi önemli bir tasarım kriteridir. Daha az işlem yoğunluğu, donanımsal gerçeklemede daha az kaynak kullanımını ve sonuçların daha az gecikme ile elde edilmesini sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmada, örnekle-tut tipi ara örneklemenin Wigner Hough Dönüşümü üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiş, önerilen sütunsal eşikleme yöntemi ile karmaşıklık seviyesinin azaltılması amaçlanmıştır. Oluşturulan işaret veritabanı kullanılarak, önerilen ve alternatif yöntemler için Tespit Olasılığı ve Cıvıltı Oranı Tahmin Olasılığı hesaplanmış, düşük SNR değerlerinde performanslar kıyaslanmıştır.

Abstract-LinearFrequency Modulated Continuous Waveform is generally used in Low Probability of Intercept radars. In studies to intercept this waveform with Wigner-Hough Transform based methods at low SNR (-8dB and below) values it is an important design criteria to obtain the resulting performance with less computation density. The decrease in computation density will provide the use of fewer resources in hardware implementation and less delay to obtain results. In this study; effects of sample and hold type intermediate sampling on Wigner Hough Transformation are examined and it is intended to reduce the complexity by means of the proposed columnar thresholding method. Using the simulated signal database, the Probability of Detection and the Probality of Chirp Rate Estimation are calculated for proposed and alternative methods, then performance for low SNR values are compared.
