[0002] Ground wave radar is widely used in fields such as marine monitoring and meteorological detection due to its unique propagation path and excellent coverage ability. However, ground wave radar is often interfered by ionospheric clutter in practical applications, resulting in a decline in target detection performance. Ionospheric clutter has complex angular and Doppler characteristics, and it is difficult to suppress.

[0075] It should be particularly noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments disclosed in this application can be combined with each other.

[0076] Embodiment 1: The sparse Bayesian ionospheric clutter STAP method based on local continuous frequency domain dimensionality reduction described in this embodiment includes an offline step and an online step.

[0077] The offline step is as follows, and the flowchart is as Figure 1 shown:

[0078] Step 1: Construct a local continuous frequency domain feature matrix and a local continuous spatial frequency domain feature matrix according to the preset local frequency range, local spatial frequency range, and window function parameters;

[0079] The parameters of the HFSWR system are assumed as follows: The uniform linear array consists of N array elements with an element spacing of d, and the phase coherent accumulation period contains M signal pulses, where fs is the sampling frequency. Therefore, for the I-th range cell, a data vector of N×M dimensions can be obtained as follows:

[0080]

[0081] The spatio-temporal steering vector of the target echo is defined as follows:

[0082]

[0083] where are the spatial steering vector and the temporal steering vector respectively, is the Kronecker product, λ is the signal wavelength, φ t is the azimuth of the target echo, f t is the Doppler frequency of the target echo, f R is the pulse repetition frequency.

[0084] The received data can be expressed as the sum of the target signal, clutter, and noise:

[0085] x I = vec(X I ) = ξv(f t , φ t ) + c + n (3)

[0086] where ξ is the amplitude of the target, c is the ionospheric clutter, and n is the noise.

[0087] Since most of the ionospheric clutter is strongly correlated in the local angle and Doppler space, it is first necessary to determine the range of the angle-Doppler region of the selected samples and extract the corresponding features.

[0088] The observation matrix of the spatial steering matrix is:

[0089]

[0090] where N is the number of antennas, φ 0 is the starting frequency, p is the sparsity, and Δφ is the angular difference between adjacent atoms.

[0123] Step 2: Use the spatio-temporal observation matrix and perform spatio-temporal estimation on the dimension-reduced training data using the sparse Bayesian learning method to obtain the clutter spatio-temporal spectrum Y;

[0124] The optimal estimation for each iteration of the sparse Bayesian learning method is:

[0125] C (t+1) = DΓ (t) D H + σ 2(t) I (19)
