Popis: In this article, we present a novel method that incorporates the range points migration (RPM) method, $k$ -space decomposition-based accurate, and noise-robust range extraction filter for microwave or millimeter-wave (MMW) short-range radar using a considerably lower fractional bandwidth signal. The advantage for higher angular resolution in higher frequency systems, such as MMW radar, has been implemented to the incoherent-based RPM method, using the simple 1-D or 2-D Fourier transform-based processing to maintain the imaging accuracy in RPM processing for both the range and the angular directions. As an additional advantage of our method, it also offers data clustering in $k$ -space, which can enhance the imaging accuracy of the RPM method. The numerical and experimental tests demonstrated that the proposed method offers numerous advantages over the Capon-based super-resolution algorithm or coherent-based imaging approaches.
