The application relates to the technical field of
radar signal processing, and provides an extended target detection method and
system under uncertain interference direction vectors. N K A matrix is modeled into a rank-one interference and
noise, thereby adapting to a multi-channel extended target
matrix form echo.The rank-one interference is constructed into a combined form composed of a
coordinate vector and an amplitude vector in a known subspace, so that performance loss caused by mismatch of a multi-rank interference model is avoided. Parameter
estimation is respectively carried out under a zero
hypothesis composed of only the rank-one interference and
noise clutter and an alternative
hypothesis containing target signals,
algorithm performance is optimized under the condition that all parameters are completely unknown and there is no theoretical optimal
detector, and the adaptability of a
detector to uncertain working conditions of a flickering interference
direction vector is improved. A test statistic is constructed by combining parameters estimated under the zero
hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis, a
detection threshold is determined in combination with a
system false alarm probability, and detection capability and reliability are effectively improved.
