Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of broadband radar signal processing, and in particular to a target fusion detection method and system for collaborative suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference. Background Art

[0002] As radar bandwidth increases, its range resolution further improves. Wideband radar is widely used in anti-interference, counter-reconnaissance, precision detection and imaging, high-precision tracking, and target identification. Adaptive detection of range-extended targets with wideband radar has become a hot topic in the radar community. Unlike narrowband radar, where target echo signals typically occupy only one range resolution unit, wideband radar target scattering energy can spread to adjacent range units, appearing as a "one-dimensional range profile," forming a range-extended target. If the point target detection method is still used to detect the echo signal for a single range unit, and the statistical characteristics of the background clutter are estimated by sampling the adjacent range units; on the one hand, the energy of the strong scattering point of the range-extended target is easily leaked to the adjacent range units, resulting in signal pollution, and further forming a masking effect on the target signal of the single target detection unit, making the point target detection method ineffective; on the other hand, in practical applications, radar detection faces a complex electromagnetic environment, which may have natural or man-made interference sources such as electronic countermeasure signals or various civilian electromagnetic signals. In addition, the environment in which the target is located is complex and changeable, which enhances the non-uniformity of the background clutter. The number of pure clutter training data that meets the independent and identical distribution is relatively limited. Compared with narrowband radar, this problem is particularly prominent in the target detection scenario of broadband radar, making it difficult for existing range-extended target detection methods to achieve ideal detection results.

[0003] In fact, although the global uniformity of the complex clutter background is destroyed, the local uniformity of the clutter is still reflected within a certain radial distance range. At this time, the clutter can be modeled using a partially uniform model, that is, the clutter components in the target detection unit and the reference unit have the same covariance matrix structure and different power levels. This model can make full use of the local uniformity of the clutter, but the number of reference units that can be used is limited by the actual degree of clutter non-uniformity.

[0004] Furthermore, in commonly used rank-one signal target detection models, the target's steering vector is typically assumed to be a known fixed vector. However, in practical applications, due to beam pointing errors and multipath, the target's steering vector may be mismatched. To address this issue, a subspace model can be considered for modeling the target signal. In a subspace model, the signal is represented as the product of a known subspace matrix and an unknown coordinate matrix. If subspace modeling is employed for the target and interference signals based on a comprehensive dataset consisting of test and training data from multiple range bins to be detected, and the detection statistic is constructed using the GLRT test criterion, a subspace GLRT detector (abbreviated as 2S-GLRT-PHE) for cooperative suppression of inhomogeneous clutter and interference can be obtained. However, the construction of the GLRT detector involves solving the maximum likelihood estimation of unknown parameters under both the target and no target assumptions, resulting in a complex and computationally complex detector construction process. Furthermore, considering the difficulty in obtaining sufficient pure clutter training data in practical environments, the clutter covariance matrix of radar receivers using centrosymmetric linear arrays or centrosymmetric spaced pulse trains exhibits a unique skew-symmetric structure. Utilizing skew-symmetric structural information can often improve detector performance and reduce the amount of training data required. Taking into account skew-symmetric prior information, if subspace modeling is adopted and the Rao test criterion is used to construct the detection statistic, a skew-symmetric subspace Rao detector (abbreviated as P2S-Rao-PHE) can be obtained for collaborative suppression of inhomogeneous clutter and interference. However, in practical implementation, this approach faces the challenge of solving the Fisher information matrix, and the detector construction process is also relatively complex.

[0042] Specifically, the present invention employs a dual-channel data acquisition mechanism, acquiring test samples Z from K target detection units and simultaneously extracting training samples Y from R spatially adjacent reference units. Under conditions where system parameters are unknown, the invention innovatively introduces unitary spatial transformation technology. This technology, based on the skew symmetry of the clutter covariance matrix, applies a unitary transformation to the received data matrix and related parameters.

[0043] Specifically, the test data, the clutter covariance matrix, the target coordinate matrix, and the interference coordinate matrix are unitarily transformed, and the matrices obtained after the unitary transformation include:

[0044]

[0045] Where,

[0046]

[0047] Z pis the test data after unitary transformation, P p is the target coordinate matrix after unitary transformation, C m×n represents a set of m×n dimensional complex matrices, Q p is the interference coordinate matrix after unitary transformation, is the maximum likelihood estimate of the clutter covariance matrix after unitary transformation, represents the real part value, represents the imaginary part value, and Y represents the training data.

[0048] Assume that the radar system collects test data from K adjacent target detection units, and after appropriate sampling and organization, forms an N×1-dimensional vector, which is represented by z t ∈£ N×1 ,t=1,2,...,K, where N represents the product of the number of antenna elements and the number of pulses, m×n Represents a set of complex matrices of dimension m×n.

[0049] The disturbance in the test data consists of clutter component and interference component, which are represented by c t ∈£ N×1 and j t ∈£ N×1 ,t=1,2,...,K. Assume that the interference component j t ,t=1,2,...,K is modeled as a deterministic subspace signal, belonging to a known interference multi-rank subspace J∈£ N×q , denoted as j t =Hq t , where q t ∈£ q×1 , t=1,2,...,K represents the unknown complex coordinate vector of the interference signal; and the clutter component c t , t=1,2,...,K are independent and identically distributed among different distance units and obey zero-mean circularly symmetric complex Gaussian distribution with covariance matrix γM, that is, c t ~CN(0 N×1 ,γM). Where M is an unknown Hermitian positive definite matrix and γ>0 represents a scaling factor that describes the unknown power mismatch between the test data and the training data.

[0050] In addition, assuming that the target signal s t ,t=1,2,...,K is also modeled as a deterministic subspace signal, belonging to the known target multi-rank subspace H∈£ N×p , denoted as s t =Hp t , where p t ∈£ p×1 , t=1,2,...,K represents the unknown complex coordinate vector of the target signal. To facilitate subsequent derivation, define

[0051] In order to estimate the unknown clutter covariance matrix M, it is assumed that there is a set of training data containing only clutter components, which is usually collected from R reference units adjacent to the target detection unit, denoted as Y = [y1, y2, ..., y R ]∈£ N×R , where y l =c l ,l=1,2,...,R is also independent and identically distributed and satisfies c l ~CN(0 N×1 ,M).

[0052] Assuming that the clutter covariance matrix M is known, the two-step gradient test decision formula for complex signals can be expressed as:

[0053]

[0054] Among them, λ 2S-Gradient and T 2S-Gradient Represent the test statistic and threshold respectively; Z=[z1,z2,...,z K ]∈£ N×K ,P=[p1,p2,...,p K ]∈£ p×K ,Q=[q1,q2,...,q K ]∈£ q×K ; The relevant parameter Θ r =vec(P)∈£ pK×1 , interference parameter Θ s =[γ,vec T (Q)] T ∈£ (qK+1)×1 ; represents the maximum likelihood estimate of Θ under the assumption H0, Represents Θ r The maximum likelihood estimate under the H1 assumption, Θ r0 Represents Θ r True value under the H0 hypothesis; superscript (·) T represents the transpose, and the vec(·) function realizes the vectorization of the matrix; it should be noted that under the H0 assumption, the target does not exist, so Θ r0 =0 pK×1 .f i (Z|iP,Q,γ) is assumed to be i , the conditional probability density function of the test data Z under i=0,1 is expressed as:

[0055] f i (Z|iP,Q,γ)={πN(K+R) γ NK |M| K+R} -1 ×exp[-tr(M -1 T i )],i=0,1 (2)

[0056] Among them, T i =(ZB i D)(ZB i D) H / γ,B i =[iH,J],D=[P T ,Q T ] T ; |·| represents the determinant of a square matrix, the tr(·) function represents the trace of a square matrix, the exp(·) function represents the exponential operation, and the superscript (·) H represents the conjugate transpose; the condition p+q≤N must be satisfied to ensure that B=[H,J] is a column-full rank augmented matrix. In addition, by utilizing the skew symmetry of M, we can deduce:

[0057] tr(M -1 T i )=tr[D N (M * ) -1 D N T i ]=tr(M -1 D N T i * D N ),i=0,1 (3)

[0058] Among them, the superscript (·) * represents conjugation. Therefore, (2) can be rewritten as:

[0059] f i (Z|iP,Q,γ)={π N(K+R) γ NK |M| K+R} -1 ×exp[-tr(M -1 T ip )],i=0,1 (4)

[0060] Among them, T ip =(T i +D N T i * D N ) / 2=(Z p -B i D p )(Zp -B i D p ) H / γ, and

[0061]

[0062] In the above formula, and represent the real and imaginary parts respectively, and

[0063]

[0064] Specifically, step S104 further includes the following steps:

[0065] Step S1041, under the assumption of no target, solving the maximum likelihood estimation of the interference coordinate matrix to obtain a first estimator;

[0066] Step S1042: Under the target hypothesis, solving the maximum likelihood estimation of the target parameter vector to obtain a second estimator;

[0067] Step S1043, using the probability density function of the test data to calculate the partial derivative of the target parameter vector, and then substituting the first estimator into the derivative result to obtain an intermediate relationship;

[0068] Step S1044 , substituting the intermediate relationship and the second estimator into the range-extended target gradient detection statistic, and combining the maximum likelihood estimation of the clutter power factor under the no-target assumption, constructing the range-extended target gradient detection statistic under the condition of a known clutter skew-symmetric covariance matrix.

[0069] Specifically, step S108 includes: substituting the maximum likelihood estimate of the clutter skew-symmetric covariance matrix into the range-extended target Gradient detection statistic, replacing the unknown clutter skew-symmetric covariance matrix in the range-extended target Gradient detection statistic with the maximum likelihood estimate of the clutter skew-symmetric covariance matrix, and constructing a target detection statistic for collaborative suppression of inhomogeneous clutter and interference.

[0070] Specifically, under the assumption that M is known, the skew-symmetric two-step gradient (abbreviated as P2S-Gradient) test decision formula can be reformulated as:

[0071]

[0072] in, express The maximum likelihood estimate under the H0 hypothesis, Θ rp-2s =vec(P p )∈£ 2pK×1 ,Θsp-2s =[γ,vec T (Q p )] T ∈£ (2qK+1)×1 , Represents Θ rp-2s Maximum likelihood estimation under the H1 hypothesis. The conditional probability density function of the test data Z can be expressed as:

[0073]

[0074] Under the assumption H0, let (8) be differentiated with respect to Q and set the result to zero, and we can obtain the maximum likelihood estimate of Q under the given M condition:

[0075]

[0076] in, Under the H1 assumption, let the natural logarithm of (8) be rp-2s Taking partial derivatives, we can get:

[0077]

[0078] Substitute (9) into Further:

[0079]

[0080] in, Next, let the natural logarithm of (8) be D p Taking the partial derivative, we can get D p The maximum likelihood estimate under the H1 hypothesis is:

[0081]

[0082] in, because Under the condition of given M, we can get P p The maximum likelihood estimate under the H1 hypothesis is:

[0083]

[0084] We can further obtain:

[0085]

[0086] Substituting (11) and (14) into (7), and then performing algebraic processing and simplification, we can obtain the P2S-Gradient test statistic under the given γ condition:

[0087]

[0088] in,

[0089] Under the given assumption of M, in order to obtain the P2S-Gradient test statistic, it is also necessary to derive the maximum likelihood estimate of γ under the H0 hypothesis. Next, substituting (9) into (8), we can obtain:

[0090]

[0091] Let the derivative of (16) with respect to γ be equal to zero, and the maximum likelihood estimate of γ under the assumption H0 can be obtained as:

[0092]

[0093] Substituting (17) into (15) and ignoring the constant term, the distance expansion target gradient test statistic for a given M, namely the P2S-Gradient test statistic (denoted as P2S-Gradient-PHE), can be expressed as:

[0094]

[0095] Finally, the training data is used to obtain the maximum likelihood estimate of the unknown skew-symmetric covariance matrix M, which is exactly the same as in formula (5) Then, replace M in (18) with The final target detection statistic (P2S-Gradient test statistic) is:

[0096]

[0097] As can be seen from formula (19), the target detection statistic constructed by the present invention has a closed-form detection statistic expression and does not require iterative calculations. It is also worth noting that compared with the 2S-GLRT-HE detector for range-extended targets, the target fusion detection method with coordinated suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference requires less training data and has stronger detection robustness against guidance vector mismatch signals. Overall, the target fusion detection method with coordinated suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference of the present invention can effectively balance the algorithm's intelligent anti-interference ability, mismatch robustness, and detection performance while maintaining the CFAR characteristics.

[0098] Specifically, step S110 further includes the following steps:

[0099] Step S1101: determining a preset detection threshold based on a preset false alarm probability.

[0100] Step S1102, determine whether the target detection statistic is greater than or equal to a preset detection threshold; if yes, execute step S1103; if not, execute step S1104.

[0101] Step S1103: Determine whether the target detection unit has a range-extended target.

[0102] Step S1104: Determine whether the target detection unit has no range-extended target.

[0103] Specifically, the present invention uses a dynamic data management mechanism to achieve constant false alarm rate control. Its core operating process is as follows: first, a preset detection threshold is determined based on a preset false alarm probability; second, the target detection statistics obtained in real time are compared and analyzed with the preset detection threshold. When the target detection statistics exceed the preset detection threshold, a dual judgment is made: 1) a distance-extended target exists in the current target detection unit; 2) the test data of the current target detection unit will enter an isolated state and will not be used as part of the training sample library for subsequent adjacent unit detection. Conversely, if the target detection statistics do not reach the preset detection threshold, it is determined that there is no target in the current target detection unit, and the test data of the target detection unit is included in the dynamically updated training data set, providing a real-time calibration basis for subsequent detection units.

[0104] The present invention provides a target fusion detection method for collaboratively suppressing non-uniform clutter and interference, which has the following technical effects compared with the prior art:

[0105] 1) A target adaptive detector for cooperative suppression of inhomogeneous clutter and interference with a closed analytical expression is proposed. This detector achieves fast computation through analytical solution, avoiding the iterative optimization process required by traditional methods. It also eliminates the need for explicit calculation of the Fisher information matrix, significantly reducing implementation complexity and providing real-time advantages in engineering applications.

[0106] 2) By deeply exploring the skew symmetry of the clutter covariance matrix, the accuracy of matrix estimation is effectively improved, the dependence on the number of training samples is greatly reduced, and a new technical approach is provided for range-extended target detection under small sample conditions;

[0107] 3) In real-world scenarios with steering vector mismatch, the proposed method demonstrates superior robustness compared to traditional detectors and exhibits stronger environmental adaptability.

[0108] 4) For structured interference environments, the target adaptive detector for cooperative suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference of the present invention can effectively suppress interference signals of different intensities and has good intelligent anti-interference performance;

[0109] 5) The method of the present invention is applicable to some non-wideband radar detection situations, for example, using low / medium resolution radar to detect large targets or to detect groups of spatially adjacent point targets moving at the same speed (such as ship formations, aircraft formations, and vehicle formations), and has good application prospects.

[0131] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of another target fusion detection system for cooperative suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3As shown, the system includes: a data transformation module, a maximum likelihood estimation solution module under the H0 assumption, a probability density function derivation module under the H1 assumption, a maximum likelihood estimation solution module under the H1 assumption, a gradient detection statistic construction module under the condition of suppressed covariance matrix, a target adaptive detector construction module for cooperative suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference, a skew-symmetric clutter covariance matrix maximum likelihood estimation module and a detection decision module.

[0132] A specific implementation of the target fusion detection system provided in the embodiment of the present invention is divided into the following steps:

[0133] Step A1: Use the sea detection radar to illuminate the sea area to be detected and obtain the test data Z of K target detection units. Send the test data Z to the data transformation module; in the data transformation module, according to equations (5) and (6), the skew-symmetric transformation test data Z is obtained. p ; Transform the skew symmetric test data Z p It is sent to the maximum likelihood estimation solution module under the H0 hypothesis, the probability density function derivation module under the H1 hypothesis, and the maximum likelihood estimation solution module under the H1 hypothesis. In the maximum likelihood estimation solution module under the H0 hypothesis, the Q under the H0 hypothesis is obtained according to formula (9) and formula (17). p and the maximum likelihood estimate of γ and In the derivative module of the probability density function under the H1 hypothesis, the test data Z under the H1 hypothesis is obtained according to formula (11): p The complex Gaussian probability density function of the target parameter vector Θ r The derivative result of ; In the maximum likelihood estimation solution module under the H1 assumption, according to formula (14), Θ under the H1 assumption is obtained rp The maximum likelihood estimate of The results obtained from the maximum likelihood estimation solution module under the H0 assumption, the derivative module of the probability density function under the H1 assumption, and the maximum likelihood estimation solution module under the H1 assumption are sent to the gradient detection statistic construction module under the condition of known covariance matrix. According to formula (18), the gradient detection statistic of the range-extended target under the condition of known clutter skew-symmetric covariance matrix is constructed and sent to the target adaptive detector construction module for cooperative suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference.

[0134] It should be noted that in step A1, considering that external interference in the actual ocean environment may adversely affect the adaptive detection of range-extended targets, the target adaptive detection model for collaborative suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference constructed by the present method takes external interference into account during the detector design process and uses subspace signals to model the interference to reduce the potential mismatch effects of the interference signal. In environments with subspace-structured interference, the present method for intelligent detection of range-extended targets using gradients can effectively suppress interference signals of varying intensities, demonstrating excellent intelligent anti-interference capabilities. Furthermore, the detector of the present method is applicable to non-uniform sea clutter environments, such as partially uniform ones. By fully exploiting the local uniformity of sea clutter and utilizing maximum likelihood estimation of the clutter power factor under the no-target assumption, the detector's intelligent adaptability to non-uniform sea clutter environments is enhanced.

[0135] Step A2: Radar illumination is performed on the target-free range around the sea area to be detected to obtain R reference range units containing only pure sea clutter training data Y. The training data Y is sent to the data transformation module; in the data transformation module, the maximum likelihood estimate of the clutter skew-symmetric covariance matrix based on the training data is obtained according to equations (5) and (6): It is sent to the target adaptive detector building module for cooperative suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference. Substitute the range-extended target gradient detection statistic obtained in step A1, replace the unknown clutter skew-symmetric covariance matrix, and construct the target detection statistic λ of the target fusion detection method with cooperative suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference according to formula (19), and send λ to the detection decision module.

[0136] Notably, in step A2, the proposed method achieves superior detection performance compared to detectors such as 2S-GLRT-PHE and P2S-Rao-PHE for range-extended targets, particularly when training data is scarce. Furthermore, the proposed adaptive target detector for collaborative suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference has a closed-form expression. Compared to existing adaptive detection methods for range-extended targets, this method maintains the CFAR characteristics while striking a reasonable balance between detection performance and computational complexity, enhancing the adaptive detection capability of multi-channel broadband radars for small, weak targets on the sea surface in complex electromagnetic environments.

[0137] Step A3: Set the preset detection threshold T according to the preset false alarm probability: Specifically, the preset false alarm probability is P fa According to the Monte Carlo method, based on the 100 / P accumulated in the early stage fa The preset detection threshold T is calculated based on the measured sea clutter data. Considering the difficulty of obtaining sea clutter, if the actual amount of pure sea clutter measured data R is less than 100 / P fa , then the missing 100 / Pfa -R clutter data can be simulated using a sea clutter simulation model, where the model parameters are reasonably estimated and set based on the obtained pure sea clutter measured data. Furthermore, the target detection statistic λ is compared with the preset detection threshold T. If λ≥T, it is determined that the current K target detection units have range-extended targets, and the test data is not used as training data for subsequent target detection units. Conversely, if λ<T, it is determined that the current K target detection units do not have range-extended targets, and the test data is used as training data for subsequent target detection units.

[0138] The performance comparison results of the detectors under the target-oriented vector matching environment are shown in the attached Figure 4 . Figure 4 Some parameters in the are set as follows: N = 16, K = 15, R = 32, p = 2, q = 2, false alarm probability P fa =10 -4 ,Interference clutter power ratio ICR=15dB. The results show that compared with the existing range extended target detectors such as 2S-GLRT-PHE and P2S-Rao-PHE, the detector of the proposed method has better detection performance in the matching environment.

[0140] Another specific implementation of the target fusion detection system provided in the embodiment of the present invention is divided into the following steps:

[0141] Step B1: Use the ground detection radar to illuminate the area to be detected and obtain the test data Z of K target detection units. Send the test data Z to the data transformation module; in the data transformation module, according to equations (5) and (6), the skew-symmetric transformation test data Z is obtained. p ; Transform the skew symmetric test data Z p It is sent to the maximum likelihood estimation solution module under the H0 hypothesis, the probability density function derivation module under the H1 hypothesis, and the maximum likelihood estimation solution module under the H1 hypothesis. In the maximum likelihood estimation solution module under the H0 hypothesis, the Q under the H0 hypothesis is obtained according to formula (9) and formula (17). p and the maximum likelihood estimate of γ and In the derivative module of the probability density function under the H1 hypothesis, the test data Z under the H1 hypothesis is obtained according to formula (11): p The complex Gaussian probability density function of the target parameter vector Θ r The derivative result of ; In the maximum likelihood estimation solution module under the H1 assumption, according to formula (14), Θ under the H1 assumption is obtained rp The maximum likelihood estimate of The results obtained from the maximum likelihood estimation solution module under the H0 assumption, the derivative module of the probability density function under the H1 assumption, and the maximum likelihood estimation solution module under the H1 assumption are sent to the gradient detection statistic construction module under the condition of known covariance matrix. According to formula (18), the gradient detection statistic of the range-extended target under the condition of known clutter skew-symmetric covariance matrix is constructed and sent to the target adaptive detector construction module for cooperative suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference.

[0142] It is worth noting that in step B1, considering that external interference may exist in the actual ground-ocean environment and adversely affect the adaptive detection of range-extended targets, the target adaptive detection model for collaborative suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference constructed by the method of the present invention takes external interference into account during the detector design process and uses subspace signals to model the interference to reduce the possible mismatch effects of the interference signal. In the presence of subspace-structured interference environments, the intelligent detection method for range-extended targets based on gradients can effectively suppress interference signals of varying intensities and has good intelligent anti-interference capabilities. At the same time, the detector of the method of the present invention is applicable to non-uniform ground clutter environments, such as partially uniform ground clutter environments. By fully exploiting the local uniformity of ground clutter and utilizing the maximum likelihood estimation of the clutter power factor under the no-target assumption, the detector's intelligent adaptability to non-uniform ground clutter environments is improved.

[0143] Step B2: Radar illumination is performed on the target-free range around the area to be detected to obtain R reference units of training data Y containing only pure ground clutter. The training data Y is sent to the data transformation module; in the data transformation module, the maximum likelihood estimate of the clutter skew-symmetric covariance matrix based on the training data is obtained according to equations (5) and (6): It is sent to the target adaptive detector building module for cooperative suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference. Substitute the range-extended target Gradient detection statistic obtained in step B1, replace the unknown clutter skew-symmetric covariance matrix, and construct the target detection statistic λ of the target fusion detection method with cooperative suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference according to formula (19), and send λ to the detection decision module.

[0144] Notably, in step B2, the proposed method achieves superior detection performance compared to detectors such as 2S-GLRT-PHE and P2S-Rao-PHE for range-extended targets, particularly when training data is scarce. Furthermore, the proposed adaptive target detector for collaborative suppression of non-uniform clutter and interference has a closed-form expression. Compared to existing adaptive detection methods for range-extended targets, this method maintains the CFAR characteristics while striking a reasonable balance between detection performance and computational complexity, enhancing the adaptive detection capability of multi-channel broadband radars for small, weak ground targets in complex electromagnetic environments.

[0145] Step B3: Set the preset detection threshold T according to the preset false alarm probability: Specifically, the preset false alarm probability is P fa According to the Monte Carlo method, based on the 100 / P accumulated in the early stage fa The preset detection threshold T is calculated based on the measured ground clutter data. Considering the difficulty of obtaining ground clutter, if the amount of pure ground clutter measured data R actually obtained is less than 100 / P fa , then the missing 100 / P fa -R clutter data can be simulated using a ground clutter simulation model, where the model parameters are reasonably estimated and set based on the obtained pure ground clutter measured data. Furthermore, the target detection statistic λ is compared with the preset detection threshold T. If λ ≥ T, it is determined that the current K target detection units have range-extended targets, and the test data is not used as training data for subsequent target detection units. Conversely, if λ < T, it is determined that the current K target detection units do not have range-extended targets, and the test data is used as training data for subsequent target detection units.

[0146] The performance comparison results of the detectors under the target-oriented vector mismatch environment are shown in the attached Figure 5 . Figure 5 Some parameters in are set as follows: N = 16, K = 15, R = 32, p = 2, q = 2, P fa =10 -4 ,ICR=15dB, mismatch angle square value cos 2 φ=0.5. The results show that compared with existing range extended target detectors such as 2S-GLRT-PHE and P2S-Rao-PHE, the detector of the proposed method has better detection performance in mismatched environments.
