Description
Summary:In modern pulsed Doppler radars, the use of staggered pulse repetition frequencies (PRFs) as inputs for the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) is a common practice to solve Doppler frequency ambiguities of high-velocity targets. Another issue concerning these targets is related to the loss in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when performing range compression, which is mitigated by the use of subpulse processing. In this work, we derive a closed-form expression for the probability to correctly estimate the ambiguous Doppler frequency, when both CRT and subpulse processing are used.
