Abstract

Abstract

For distributed aperture coherent radar of general signal processing architecture, the estimating performance of time delay differences and phase differences, and the output Signal to Noise Ratio gain (oSNRg) based on cross-correlation are studied in this paper. Firstly, the signal models are proposed in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) mode and Fully Coherent (FC) mode respectively. Then the phase ambiguity with estimating phase differences by cross-correlation is deeply analyzed, and an effective method for resolving ambiguity is proposed to estimate robustly the phase differences. Numerical examples demonstrate that when the input SNR is high enough, the coherence parameters can be estimated robustly and the oSNRg approaches the ideal value by cross-correlation method.
