The vortex ElectroMagnetic (EM) wave has a unique spiral phase wavefront.The rotational Doppler effect, induced by the lateral micromotion echofix spring reverb of a target is expected to provide a new mode of radar target detection.Under the illumination of vortex EM waves, the micromotion of a cone-shaped target periodically modulates the instantaneous frequency of the radar echo; this can effectively reflect the geometric characteristics and micromotion parameters of a cone-shaped target.This paper focuses on the estimation of cone-shaped target parameters under forward-looking radar conditions.First, based on the principle of vortex EM wave target rotational Doppler detection, skull bride and groom a mathematical equation describing the vortex EM wave of a cone-shaped target echo is derived, and an echo rotational Doppler model is established.

Second, a method for cone-shaped target parameter estimation under forward-looking conditions is proposed.Using the two-dimensional rotational Doppler information of the scattering points at the top and bottom of a cone-shaped target, the micromotion and geometric parameters of the target can be effectively estimated.The simulation results verify the effectiveness and robustness of the method proposed in this paper.
