Embodiment 3

[0069] The space-time two-dimensional clutter spectrum estimation method based on the iterative weighted minimum variance is the same as that in Embodiment 1, and the simulation conditions are the same as in Embodiment 2.

[0070] In order to further illustrate the advantages of the present invention, Figure 4 The one-dimensional power spectrum comparison curves of the present invention and the traditional IAA method at the spatial frequency of the target are given. from Figure 4 It can be seen that the traditional IAA spectrum estimation method has poor estimation results for clutter ridges, and the clutter ridges are obviously broadened, while the clutter spectrum estimated by the present invention is very narrow, and the clutter ridge estimation results of the present invention are obviously better than traditional method.

Abstract

The invention discloses a space-time two-dimensional clutter spectrum estimation method based on iterative weighted minimum variance. The method comprises the following steps: first, taking out echo data of a distance unit to be detected, after pulse compression, received by a radar, and utilizing the space-time structure of the data to construct a plurality of snapshots; then, using the space-time two-dimensional spectrum estimation method based on the iterative weighted minimum variance to estimate the space-time two-dimensional spectrum of clutters; finally, setting a stopping criterion according to the sparsity of the clutters and targets distributed on a space-time plane, and iteration can automatically stop. The method utilizes the space-time structure of the data of the unit to be detected to construct the snapshots, the estimated variance of the spectrum is effectively reduced, and the estimated accuracy of the clutter spectrum is high. The method utilizes the sparsity of the clutters and the targets distributed on the space-time two-dimensional plane to design the automatic stopping criterion of iteration, which can automatically converge. The method does not need airspace subaperture smoothness, does not have space-time aperture loss, and is not limited by an antenna structure. The method can be used for estimating the space-time two-dimensional clutter spectrum of an airborne radar at a non-homogeneous environment.
