Parameter Estimation Approach of FSK/PSK Radar Signal

A parameter estimation approach of reconnaissance hybrid radar signal combined frequency-shift keying （FSK） and phase-shift keying （PSK） is presented. Firstly, the multi-phase difference is adopted to calculate the instantaneous frequency （IF） of FSK/PSK, then the frequency points of FSK are estimated from the histogram of IF. The code rate of PSK is extracted from the locations of phase discontinuity. Finally, the multi-phase difference of the square of the received signal is computed to estimate the code rate of FSK. The presented algorithm has higher accuracy of parameter estimation when the signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） is above 11 dB.
