Ground clutter suppression method based on whitening filter

Abstract

The invention discloses a ground clutter suppression method based on a whitening filter. The method comprises the steps of subjecting radar echo data containing clutters and noises to the pulse compression treatment, rearranging data according to range gates, setting the K-th range gate after the pulse compression treatment as a reference unit, establishing a self-regression process based on the radar echo data in the slow-time dimension, estimating the self-regression model parameters of the reference unit according to the Burg algorithm based on three-order cumulants, constructing a whitening filter based on the self-regression model parameters of the reference unit, subjecting the data of a current detection unit to the whitening and filtering treatment by using the constructed whitening filter, and subjecting filtered time domain signals to the moving target detection treatment. According to the technical scheme of the invention, clutters for a moving target with a low velocity can be effectively inhibited, and clutters originally aggregated in the vicinity of the zero frequency can also be effectively inhibited. The power is dispersed, so that clutters appear in the form of approximate white noises in the frequency domain. After the power dispersing process, the influence of clutters on the detection of the moving target with the low velocity is obviously reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a clutter suppression technology in radar signal processing, in particular to a ground clutter suppression method based on a whitening filter. Background technique [0002] Since the birth of radar in the 1930s, radar technology has developed rapidly. In recent years, the theoretical and applied research of various radar processing techniques has become a popular and key topic. When the radar detects the target, there are various background interferences around the target, also known as clutter, that is, the reflected echoes of all passive reflectors other than the moving target that the radar needs to detect, and the radar target echo signal is often mixed with With stronger environmental clutter, if weak targets are submerged in strong clutter, especially when the strong clutter overloads the receiver, the detection of these targets will become very difficult. Even if the target is not in the clutter background, it is very ...
