GTD MODEL-BASED TIME-SHIFT INVARIANT TARGET IDENTIFICATION USING MATCHING PURSUITS AND LIKELIHOOD RATIO TESTS

In order to improve the identification capability of ultra wide-band radar, this paper introduces a step-variant multiresolution approach for the time-shift parameter estimation. Subsequently, combining with the approach, a Geometrical Theory of Diffraction （GTD） model-based time-shift Invariant method to target identification using Matching Pursuits and Likelihood Ratio Test （IMPLRT） is developed. Simulation results using measured scattering signatures of two targets in an ultra wide-band chamber are presented contrasting the performance of the IMPLRT to the Wang＇s MPLRT technique.
