A modified adaptive multi-pulse compression algorithm for fast implementation

Abstract

The adaptive multi-pulse compression (AMPC) has been shown to successfully suppress the range-doppler sidelobes at the cost of heavy computation load. The fast adaptive multipulse compression (FAMPC) algorithm reduces the computation complexity of the AMPC via dimensionality reduction while it suffers noticeable performance degradation. This paper proposes a modified adaptive multi-pulse compression (MAMPC) algorithm that uses a two-stage processing scheme and implements with the gain-constraint-APC (GCAPC). The proposed method has almost identical estimation performance to the AMPC while maintains the same order of computation load as that of the FAMPC.

Fast implementation for modified adaptive multi-pulse compression

“…Unlike [21], we also consider clutter scenario assuming that some knowledge of clutter statistics is available. For clutter-free scenario, we implement MAMPC with two estimating stages by utilizing GCAPC algorithm.…”
