Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The sky wave over-the-horizon radar (OTHR) works in the high frequency band (5-30MHz), and detects the targets beyond the horizon by using the refraction and reflection effect of the ionosphere on the high frequency electromagnetic wave, and the detection distance range is 800-3000km, which is a special system long-range early warning radar. The OTHR preliminarily suppresses the clutter by pulse compression and coherent accumulation, and then performs target detection in the range-doppler (RD) domain. However, the sea clutter and the ground clutter will produce spectral peaks much larger than the target energy at the Bragg frequency and the zero frequency, and in addition, in the actual situation, due to the influence of the ionosphere, the ground and sea clutter shape usually occurs the widening and frequency shift phenomenon, which further expands the coverage range of the clutter, thereby seriously affecting the detection performance of the low radial velocity target.
