An amplitude weighted cross-correlation detector is proposed for the detection of the Doppler-spread target (DST), based on the frequency modulated continuous waveform (FMCW) radar. The concurrent range-Doppler matrices (RDM) make cross-correlation optimized with higher accumulation gain and significantly reduced computation effort. A novel measurement of signal sparseness is defined. The quantitative analysis of the proposed detector, compared with the energy integration detector, is realized based on the signal sparseness. Two generalizations of proposed detector are discussed for the number of antennas greater than two. Data from a walking pedestrian are got and used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed detector.
