Abstract

In this paper, the radar target recognition is given by projected features of frequency-diversity RCS (radar cross section). The frequency diversity means signals are collected by sweeping the frequency of the incident illumination. Initially, the frequencydiversity RCS data from targets are collected and projected onto the PCA (principal components analysis) space. The elementary recognition of targets is efficiently performed on the PCA space. To achieve well separate recognition of targets, the features of the PCA space are further projected onto the LDA (linear discriminant algorithm) space. Simulation results show that accurate results of radar target recognition can be obtained by the proposed frequencydiversity scheme. In addition, the proposed frequency-diversity scheme has good ability to tolerate noise effects in radar target recognition.
