In addition to traditional linear Doppler shift, the angular Doppler shift in vortex electromagnetic wave (VEMW) radar systems carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) can provide more accurate target identification micro-motion parameters, especially the detailed features perpendicular to the radar line-of-sight (LOS) direction. In this paper, a micro-motion feature extraction method for a spinning target with multiple scattering points based on VEMW radar is proposed. First, a multi-scattering-point spinning target detection model using vortex radar is established, and the mathematical mechanism of echo signal flash shift in time-frequency (TF) domain is deduced. Then, linear Doppler shift is eliminated by interference processing with opposite dual-mode VEMW. Subsequently, the shift in TF flicker is focused on the reference zero frequency by the iterative phase compensation method, and the number of scattering points is estimated according to the focusing effect. After this, through the constructed compensation phase, the angular Doppler shift is separated, then the angular velocity, rotation radiusand initial phase of the target are estimated. Theoretical and simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, and more accurate rotation parameters can be obtained in the case of multiple scattering points using the VEMW radar system.
