Abstract

In this paper, we present a method for detecting a point target using multiple antennas when the relative motion between the receivers and the target induces a non-trivial Doppler shift. We consider a 4×4 system employing sets of unitary waveforms. In case of a non-trivial Doppler shift induced by the target motion, the waveforms are no longer unitary, and unambiguous target ranging is not possible. To solve this problem, we adopt a subspace based approach where we show that the unitary waveforms used have a non-empty null-space under certain conditions, and by processing the waveforms with vectors from the null-space, we can significantly improve the detection performance.
