Simulating Micro-Doppler Effects of Helicopter

Micro-Doppler signals can be used for applications in security systems, surveillance systems, radar detection and recognition of airplanes, helicopters. The coherent radar can be used to measure micro-Doppler properties of moving objects. The micro-Doppler signature depends on parts of an object moving and rotating in addition to the main body motion (e.g. rotor blades) and is therefore characteristic for the type of object. In this study, by modeling the Motion Model of the helicopter, the basic characteristics of the helicopter for classification and recognition can be obtained through spectrum analysis by using MATLAB Radar Toolbox.
