摘要

The mathematics of synthesizing a high-range resolution profile (HRRP) is discussed. With a generalized model of synthetic wideband signal and its echo signal, stretch processing technique is extended and refined. Then, an investigation on the mathematic principle of synthesizing a range profile demonstrates that quadratic phase error criterion does not exactly represent the effect of motion on a synthetic range profile (SRP). Therefore, a least-mean-square error criterion is proposed, and several conclusions about the new criterion are derived. In addition, specific conclusions about the distortion for a stepped-frequency waveform (SFW) are investigated with some simulations.
