Article Preview

Abstract:

Chirp signal has been used widely in radar signals, and the Fractional Fourier transform is one of the most effective tools to analyze Chirp signal. In this paper, the concept of FRFT and the estimation theory of Chirp signal are introduced firstly. Then, we study three Chirp signal detection algorithms based on character of Chirp signal energy concentrated in a certain FRFT domain. Finally, in order to test the estimation abilities of the frequency modulation rate and the central frequency of FRFT to Chirp signal, and compare the operation time of parameters estimation under different SNR of the three algorithms, we simulate performance of the Three methods, and the final simulation results show that the three method have remarkable capabilities of detecting Chirp signal with low SNR. In contrast, the two-searching method doesn’t need planar search, consumedly reducing the computation cost at the same precision.
