This Topic focuses on nonlinear radar signal processing techniques for target detection in complicated environments. We aim to explore cutting-edge technologies and methodologies in radar signal processing under challenging conditions, including complicated moving targets, non-Gaussian and non-homogeneous clutter, and active interference. We invite experts and researchers in related fields to submit their original research and application case studies, covering but not limited to the following topics: radar characteristics analysis of complicated moving targets, non-Gaussian and non-homogeneous clutter suppression techniques, multi-domain anti-active interference techniques for cognitive radar, complicated moving target detection techniques, time-frequency representation of nonlinear radar signals, MIMO radar waveform design techniques, signal processing techniques for distributed radar, and radar target feature extraction and recognition. We encourage submissions that present novel theoretical insights, practical applications, and experimental results. Join us in advancing the field of nonlinear radar signal processing.
