Abstract
CW signal is widely used in sonar, communication, biomedicine and other fields. But because of its low Doppler tolerance, many detectors for CW signal are limited in large Doppler. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new detector based on the consistency of sub-array instantaneous frequency sequence. The idea of the detector is as follows: First, use split beamforming technology to process the received signals of array. Next, extract the instantaneous frequency sequences of the output signals of the left and right sub-array, respectively. After that, calculate the variance of the difference sequence of two instantaneous frequency sequences as the detection statistics. Then, achieve the purpose of detecting CW signal. Simulation results and the verification of practical measured data show that this detector can effectively detect CW signals, and the detection performance under large Doppler is significantly better than matched filter and variance-of-instantaneous-frequency detector.
