Resource Overview
Implementation of Radon transform for analyzing composite chirp signals. The code generates two quadratic frequency modulated signals (x1 and x2) with different chirp rates, combines them, computes the ambiguity function using ambifunb, performs Hough transform line detection (htl) on the absolute values, and extracts peak coordinates to calculate initial frequencies and chirp slopes.
Detailed Documentation
The MATLAB code demonstrates Radon transform application for signal processing. Key implementation details include:
Signal Generation:
- Signal length N=800 with sampling frequency fs=200 Hz
- Time vector t=n/fs where n=1:N
- Two quadratic chirp signals:
x1 = exp(j*2*pi*(5*t + 0.5*5*t.^2)) [Chirp rate: 5 Hz/s]
x2 = exp(j*2*pi*(5*t + 0.5*15*t.^2)) [Chirp rate: 15 Hz/s]
- Composite signal x = x1 + x2
Radon Transform Processing:
- ambifunb(x) computes the ambiguity function for time-frequency analysis
- htl(abs(naf)) performs Hough transform line detection on the ambiguity function magnitude
- [wh, rho, theta] = htl(abs(naf)) returns Hough transform accumulator matrix and polar coordinates
Visualization and Parameter Extraction:
- colormap([0,0,0]) sets black colormap for better contrast
- Peak detection: b=max(max(wh)) finds maximum value in accumulator
- [u,a]=find(wh>=0.8*b) locates coordinates exceeding 80% of peak value
- The peak coordinates are used to calculate initial frequencies and chirp slopes through Radon transform properties
This implementation showcases how Radon transform can decompose composite signals and extract time-frequency parameters using Hough transform-based peak detection in the ambiguity function domain. The algorithm effectively separates signal components with different chirp characteristics through their distinct linear patterns in the transform domain.
