However, due to the nonlinearity of radar carrier frequency and the limitation of the Doppler tolerance of high-resolution range cells, the undesirable blind-speed sidelobes are generated in the two-dimensional (2D) range\u2013velocity plane after coherent integration (CI) using the traditional methods based on a matching filter, which may degrade the target detection performance. To solve this problem, an adaptive step-size sparsity adaptive matching pursuit (SAMP) algorithm combining off-grid correction (ASSAMP-OC) is proposed in this paper, which seeks to achieve a better trade-off between recovery efficiency and detection performance. Firstly, an adaptive iteration step size based on the Spearman correlation coefficients (SCCS) is devised, which solves the problem of the traditional SAMP algorithm being insensitive to the change in iteration step size when the residuals vary slightly, and improves the recovery speed. Secondly, the off-grid correction method by combining a regularized stagewise backtracking idea and gradient descent optimization (GDO) is adopted to improve the recovery accuracy and suppress the blind-speed sidelobe energy (BSSE), which helps to reduce CI gain loss and improve the target detection performance without the prior information of the sparsity lever. Finally, simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method in terms of target detection probability, target signal energy ratio after recovery, and computational cost, compared to several existing methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15204921","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,12]],"date-time":"2023-10-12T03:14:32Z","timestamp":1697080472000},"page":"4921","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Target Detection Method Based on Adaptive Step-Size SAMP Combining Off-Grid Correction for Coherent Frequency-Agile Radar"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Jiayun","family":"Chang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The School of Integrated Circuits and Electronics, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing 100081, China"},{"name":"Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, Shanghai 201109, China"}]},{"given":"Xiongjun","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The School of Integrated Circuits and Electronics, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing 100081, China"},{"name":"Tangshan Research Institute of BIT, Tangshan 063000, China"}]},{"given":"Kai","family":"Zhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, Shanghai 201109, China"}]},{"given":"Xuezhou","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, Shanghai 201109, China"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The School of Integrated Circuits and Electronics, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing 100081, China"},{"name":"Tangshan Research Institute of BIT, Tangshan 063000, China"}]},{"given":"Junqiang","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, Shanghai 201109, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1109\/LGRS.2022.3182664","article-title":"Coherent integration for maneuvering target detection at low SNR based on Radon-general linear chirplet transform","volume":"19","author":"Bao","year":"2022","journal-title":"IEEE Geosci.
