摘　　要：针对多普勒穿墙雷达目标定位中难以从频率混叠区域准确提取定位信号的问题,该文提出一种基于改进Viterbi频率估计技术的目标定位算法。根据雷达回波的局部特性动态调整指数平滑法的平滑系数,并基于动态指数平滑预测数据定义Viterbi算法的新型惩罚函数。利用估计的目标频率曲线解调回波信号,完成对多个目标分量的分离,并结合多普勒处理方法合成目标运动轨迹,实现对目标的实时定位。实验结果表明,该方法有效抑制了算法在频率模糊区域的路径分叉问题,在多人体目标跟踪定位的应用场景中具有优越性。此外,新算法所采用的最佳路径搜索方式对传统Viterbi算法的全平面搜索进行了改进,有效提高了最佳路径的寻找效率。Considering the problem of target signal identification in frequency ambiguity region of Doppler through wall radar,and the path bifurcation problem of traditional Viterbi algorithm in instantaneous frequency estimation,a target location algorithm based on improved Viterbi frequency estimation technology is proposed.According to the local characteristics of radar echo,the smoothing coefficient of exponential smoothing method is dynamically adjusted,and a new penalty function based on dynamic exponential smoothing prediction is defined.The echo signal is demodulated by the estimated target frequency curve to separate multiple target components,and the target motion trajectory is synthesized by combining Doppler processing to realize real-time target positioning.The experimental results show that the path bifurcation problem in frequency ambiguity region is effectively suppressed by this method,and this method has advantages in the application scene of multi-body target tracking and location.In addition,the employed dynamic search method enhances upon traditional whole-plane search and improves the efficiency of searching the optimal paths considerably.
