The stepped-frequency (SF) waveform is highly sensitive to the target motion, which induces range shift and echo spread in a high-range-resolution profile (HRRP). This paper proposes a method based on a cross-transmitted double-stepped frequency (DSF) waveform and the phase-cancellation technique. The proposed method obtains the stationary HRRP of the moving targets according to the inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) and complex multiplication. The results also show that the proposed method eliminates the generated false peaks from the existing methods. As a result, the obtained signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the HRRP using the proposed method is improved. Due to the cross-transmitted DSF waveform application, the proposed method adapts to higher speed targets. The analysis and simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
