Abstract

For the question that the computation of 
searching peak is large in signal parameters estimation using 
FrFT method, a new method of narrow-scope searching FrFT 
is proposed in this paper. According to the possible speed 
range of the target’s motion, the change range of received LFM 
signal’s parameters caused by Doppler Effect can be predicted. 
By estimate the FrFT optimal order in a very small range 
accurately, the search scope and computation amount will be 
greatly reduced. And this method was successfully applied to 
eliminate the active sonar ranging error. Theoretical analysis 
and simulation have confirmed small operation amount, high 
accuracy and good real-time performance for this presented 
method.
