Firstly,three architectures of signal processing in the DCAR are introduced. Secondly, the closed-form Cramer-Rao bound(CRB) of the CPP estimation is derived and compared. Then, the closed-form CRB is verified by numerical simulations. Finally, when the next generation radar works in a fully coherent mode, the closed-form signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) gain of the three architectures is presented.展开更多
