The invention discloses a multichannel
radar interference inhibition and then target detection method during coexistence of
clutter and interference. Interference inhibition,
clutter inhibition and CFAR (
constant false alarm rate) detection area realized on the basis of the idea of multichannel adaptive detection. The number and direction of interference are obtained by means of reconnaissance pulses in a
rest period of a
radar,
singular value decomposition is carried out on an interference guiding matrix, and an interference inhibition matrix is constructed; the interference inhibition matrixis used to carry out interference inhibition on to-be-detected data and a training sample, the dimension of data is reduced, and requirement for the number of training samples during subsequent adaptive detection is lowered; according to a
generalized likelihood ratio criterion, the to-be-detected data and training sample after interference inhibition are combined to detect design of a
detector;and a
detection threshold is determined according to statistical characteristic of the
detector and the
false alarm rate set by the
system, and compared with a detection statistic quantity of the
detector, if the detection statistic quantity is greater than the threshold, it is determined that there is a target, and otherwise, it is determined that there is no target. Thus, interference inhibition,
clutter inhibition and CFAR detection can be realized at the same, time, and work is normal when the number of training samples is lower than the number of
system channels.
