Modern radar systems commonly utilize monopulse angle estimation techniques for target angle estimation, with the phase comparison method being one of the most widely adopted approaches. While the phase comparison method achieves high estimation precision, it is highly susceptible to noise and exhibits a suboptimal performance under low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) conditions, leading to a high SNR threshold. Moreover, conventional monopulse angle estimation methods provide limited target information, as a single measurement cannot reveal the target’s motion direction. To address these shortcomings, a novel approach based on the phase comparison method is proposed in this study, with the variation in the wave path difference modeled as a first-order motion model. By accumulating the conjugate-multiplied signals over multiple time steps, the Wave Path Difference Rate of Change Ambiguity Function (WPD-ROC AF) is constructed. A fast algorithm employing the 2D Chirp-Z Transform (2D-CZT) is proposed, enabling multi-pulse angle estimation through the identification of frequency and phase values corresponding to spectral peaks. Simulation results validate that the proposed method outperforms traditional monopulse angle estimation techniques under low-SNR conditions and effectively suppresses static clutter interference. Furthermore, the sign of the WPD-ROC AF is shown to be correlated with the target’s motion direction, providing practical utility for determining the direction of movement in remote sensing scenarios.
