With different envelope walks for multi-target in the wideband environment
a RAT-CFAR method is proposed. The method uses the Radon ambiguity transform to accumulate signal energy incoherently and to detect targets in the range frequency domain. The strip distribution of the ambiguity function for range frequency domain signal is used
and the Radon transformation is applied to the ambiguity function to accumulate signal energy incoherently. Then the targets can be detected by the cell average constant false alarm ration
and the acceleration of the targets can be estimated from the corresponding angle of the peaks in Radon integral. Compared the method that uses envelope alignment to coherently accumulate signal energy to detect targets
the RAT-CFAR can detect multi-targets under the ratio of signal to noise higher than 5 dB. Simulation results show that the radial acceleration resolution of the RAT-CFAR achieves th
