Multiframe weak target track-before-detect based on pseudo-spectrum in mixed coordinates

Traditional multiframe Track-Before-Detect (TBD) may incur adverse integration loss resulting from model mismatch in sensor coordinates. Its suboptimal integration strategy may cause target envelope degradation. To address these issues, a pseudo-spectrum-based multiframe TBD in mixed coordinates is proposed firstly. The data search for energy integration is conducted based on an accurate model in the x - y plane while target energy is …
