Abstract

In this paper we apply the continuous wavelet transform, along with multilayer feedforward neural networks, to the estimation of time-dependent radar doppler frequency. The wavelet transform employs the real-valued Morlet wavelet, which is well matched to the doppler signals of interest. The neural networks are trained with the Levenberg-Marquardt rule, which is much faster than purely gradient-descent learning algorithms such as back propagation. We also apply Donoho's wavelet denoising with the novel super-Haar wavelet to improve performance for noisy signals. The techniques are applied to the problem of radar proximity fuzing.
