Medium PRF Performance Analysis

Heuristic pulse interleaving algorithms for multi-target tracking on pulse Doppler phased array radars

“…On the other hand, it has poor ground moving target rejection and Doppler ambiguity. Medium PRF, usually 10-40kHz, has both range and Doppler ambiguity, but it shows a compromise of performance at all aspect target detection under the presence of clutter [7,10,11].…”

“…In this paper, it is assumed that the blind zones are placed around folded frequency and range that are the integer multiples of f u and r u respectively. This can be appropriate when rejection notch is at main beam clutter and target's radial velocity with respect to ground is measured in Doppler pass band [7,10,12]. The widths of blind zones are assumed as 4kHz for frequency and 4km for range [7].…”

“…The full problem of pulse interleaving can be formulated as a MILP (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). t d,j is dwell time of the jth look which has a PRF among the set of PRFs.…”

“…There may exist some tasks with the same number of available PRFs, thus SAPAR uses ambiguous range as the second criterion. For SFA and SBA, the algorithm finds 10 15 …”

Multi‐frame track‐before‐detect algorithm for disambiguation

“…Medium pulse repetition frequency (MPRF) operation improves the radar's ability to deal with the mainlobe clutter and ground moving targets, as it combines the desirable features of both low and high pulse repetition frequencies (PRFs) [1]. Therefore, a medium PRF radar system is widely applied in practice applications [2].…”
