Description

Airborne early warning radar clutter suppression method based on accessory channel
Technical field
The invention belongs to radar clutter suppression technology field, more particularly to a kind of airborne early warning radar based on accessory channel Clutter suppression method, suitable for solving the problems, such as the decline of airborne early warning radar clutter rejection non-homogeneous clutter environment, change It is apt to its clutter recognition performance.
Background technology
Airborne early warning radar can flexibly, rapidly be deployed in required local and in widespread attention, its master with it It is that target is detected in clutter background to want task, and the target to detecting carries out locating and tracking, and clutter is effectively pressed down System is to improve the core of airborne early warning radar service behaviour.Therefore, before the target that locating and tracking detects, it is necessary first to suppress miscellaneous Clutter present in ripple background or interference.If when under airborne early warning radar depending on being radiated at relatively flat low scattering region, production Raw clutter or interference can be very weak, is handled using conventional method.But generated due to the motion of airborne early warning radar Clutter spectrum spreads in the main lobe broadening and sidelobe clutter of Doppler frequency domain so that shows very strong space-time coupled characteristic, therefore Need to suppress caused clutter or interference using space-time adaptive signal transacting (STAP) technology.Space-time adaptive processing (STAP) technology can make full use of spatial information (si) and time-domain information, and can effective clutter reduction, but as a rule Enough independent same distributions (independent and identically distributed, IID) instruction can not almost be obtained Practice sample to estimate space-time covariance matrix.Even if enough independent same distribution number of training are obtained, for high level matrix There is also the difficulty that amount of calculation and precision aspect are difficult to for the computing inverted.
In the eighties, German doctor R.Klemm is opened up to space-time adaptive signal transacting (STAP) technology Property theoretical research, he, which passes through, carries out thoroughgoing and painstaking analysis to noise performance, finds the big characteristic value of space-time covariance matrix Number be no more than N+M-1, wherein N is the array number of airborne early warning radar, and M is airborne early warning radar in a Coherent processing The umber of pulse of transmitting, illustrates that the full space-time adaptive signal transacting (STAP) for clutter reduction exists at dimensionality reduction really in interval The possibility of reason, on this basis, he proposes accessory channel method (Auxiliary Channel Receiver-ACR), at dimensionality reduction Dimension after reason is by NM to N+M-1.Research show this kind of dimension-reduction treatment in performance close to optimal full space time processing effect, but There is also following two problems in actual applications:First, dimension-reduction treatment is in performance close to optimal full space time processing effect Obtained in the case of without amplitude phase error, if it is considered that spatial domain error, clutter spectrum caused by airborne early warning radar can be along sky Domain Directional Extension so that its clutter dimension is significantly increased, and process performance is decreased obviously;Second, in the array element of airborne early warning radar When number N is bigger, required processor dimension is also bigger.Therefore, accessory channel method still need in actual applications into One-step optimization or improvement, so that clutter recognition performance is improved.
