Abstract

This paper presents a new approach on stretch processing for a fine range estimation using MPM (Matrix Pencil Method). The conventional method utilizes FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) with limited range resolution with its fixed number of samples. Numerical simulation shows that the new method gives better performance in the accuracy of the range resolution.
