We consider the Doppler ambiguity compensation problem for weak moving target detection in passive bistatic radar. Detecting an unknown high-speed weak target has a high probability of the presence of Doppler ambiguity, which will decrease the integration performance and accordingly make the target detection difficult under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environments. Resorting to the well-known keystone transform (KT) method, an approach to compensate for the Doppler ambiguity within the batch is proposed for the first time. The proposed approach establishes a good coupling between the reference and echo signals by adding a frequency shift related to the Doppler frequency in the procedure of computing the cross ambiguity function (CAF). Simulation results show that the coherent integration gain of our approach is close to the theoretical upper bound even in the presence of Doppler ambiguity.
