Resonance-based Radar Target Classification using the Matrix Pencil Method and the Cauchy Method

A comparison of the Matrix Pencil Method and the Cauchy Method is studied. The two methods both serve as natural resonant frequency extraction algorithm but is based on information in different domains. Their performances are analyzed using synthesized data and full-wave simulated data. Both methods present the capability to extract NRFs from targets. Numerical results are presented to show the similarity and differences between the two methods.
