Range/Doppler migration and velocity ambiguity are two well-known problems encountered in high-speed moving target detection using a linear-frequency-modulated continuous-wave automotive radar. To mitigate the problems, we introduce a simple Doppler–range processing (DRP) algorithm by first performing Doppler processing via fast Fourier transform (FFT) across slow-time samples, followed by a simple interpolation step, and then range processing via FFT along Doppler migration lines over fast-time samples. The proposed DRP algorithm can achieve full range and full velocity resolutions, as well as full coherent integration gains. It attains a computational complexity comparable to that of the conventional 2-D-FFT-based range–Doppler processing approach, computationally much more efficient than existing approaches. The proposed DRP algorithm can automatically resolve the velocity ambiguity problems. We analyze its velocity ambiguity mitigation capability in relation to the radar bandwidth and the number of slow-time samples within a coherent processing interval. The effectiveness and the computational efficiency of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated by numerical examples.
