The invention relates to a navigation X-waveband 
radar ocean 
wave parameter inversion 
algorithm based on EOF 
decomposition. The method comprises the following steps: first of all, carrying out EOF 
decomposition on a navigation X-waveband 
radar image sequence to obtain different modalities; then by use of a Burg 
algorithm, obtaining a maximum entropy power spectrum of the main component of a first modality, and according to a spectrum 
peak value, obtaining a period and a 
wavelength of ocean 
waves; by use of a 
linear relation between a standard deviation of the main component of a modality and an effective 
wave height, obtaining an effective 
wave height of the ocean 
waves; by use of a space function of the first modality and the main component of the first modality, reconstructing a 
radar image sequence of the first modality of an ocean 
wave field, performing two-dimensional Fourier transformation on any one image in the sequence, and according to an obtained wave-number spectrum 
peak value, determining a 
simulation wave direction; and by use of wave stripe similarities in two adjacent radar images, determining an ocean wave direction. According to the invention, by use of an EOF, the ocean 
wave field is decomposed into the different modalities, and the 
wave height, the period, the 
wavelength and the wave direction of the ocean 
waves are extracted from major modalities, such that the problem of influences caused by inhomogeneity of the 
wave field and large 
noise in case of a low ocean condition is solved.
