MATLAB Implementation of Point Target Range Doppler Algorithm Simulation

Detailed Documentation

This document explores the MATLAB implementation of a point target Range Doppler Algorithm simulation. Before implementing this program, it is essential to understand the concept of the Doppler effect and how to calculate Doppler frequency shift. The implementation typically involves MATLAB's signal processing toolbox functions for Fourier transforms (fft/ifft) and matrix operations to handle range compression and Doppler processing. Additionally, we need to consider potential errors and biases in the simulation, such as range migration and phase errors, and explore methods to mitigate these issues using techniques like interpolation and phase correction algorithms. Finally, we will discuss practical MATLAB programming approaches for this simulation, including key functions for radar signal generation, matched filtering, and Doppler processing, along with tips for optimizing code performance and interpreting results effectively.
