This paper proposes a switched-element direction finding (SEDF) system based Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation method for un-cooperative wideband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multi Linear Frequency Modulation (OFDM-LFM) radar signals. This method is designed to improve the problem that most DOA algorithms occupy numbers of channel and computational resources to handle the direction finding for wideband signals. Then, an iterative spatial parameter estimator is designed through deriving the analytical steering vector of the intercepted OFDM-LFM signal by the SEDF system, which can remarkably mitigate the dispersion effect that is caused by high chirp rate. Finally, the algorithm flow and numerical simulations are given to corroborate the feasibility and validity of our proposed DOA method.

Theoretical questions of parametric descriptions of received broadband radar signals, in particular, signals with linear frequency modulation, and their processing for evaluation of form parameters of tracked space objects are considered. Analytical expressions for the received broadband radar signal at the output of the antenna system and its spectrum are obtained. Received expression take into account the spectral characteristics of polarization matrix of radio waves backscattering from space objects, as well as movement parameters of monitored objects. Address issues of physical diffraction theory methods for calculating spectral characteristics of radio waves backscattering from space objects. At considering of processing of received broadband signals from objects they are represented as the sum of component from individual «shining spots», then parameters of objects form are number of «shining spots», delays and complex amplitudes of their signals. It is shown that sufficient statistics at processing of received broadband signals to evaluate form parameters of space objects is the Fourier transform of product of complex conjugate of complex spectrum of envelope received signal and spectrum of complex envelope of sounding signal, modified in view of object movement. On the basis of computations of delay response functions for axisymmetric objects with circular kinked surfaces and sounding signals with linear frequency modulation the features of the task of evaluating the form parameters of space objects are shown and general requirements for parameters of sounding signals, for energy and a range of angles of observation are formulated.

The present paper analyzes the performance of localization systems, based on dual-band Direction of Arrival (DoA) approach, in multi-path affected scenarios. The implemented DoA estimation, which belongs to the so-called Space and Frequency Division Multiple Access (SFDMA) technique, takes advantage of the use of two uncorrelated communication carrier frequencies, as already demonstrated by the authors. Starting from these results, this paper provides, first, the methodology followed to describe the localization system in the proposed simulation environment, and, as a second step, describes how multi-path effects may be taken into account through a set of full-wave simulations. The latter follows an approach based on the two-ray model. The validation of the proposed approach is demonstrated by simulations over a wide range of virtual scenarios. The analysis of the results highlights the ability of the proposed approach to describe multi-path effects and confirms enhancements in DoA estimation as experimentally evaluated by the same authors. To further assess the performance of the aforementioned simulation environment, a comparison between simulated and measured results was carried out, confirming the capability to predict DoA performance.
