Real-time Spatial-filtering Algorithm for Phased-array PD Radar Target Detection

For application of missile-borne phased-array pulse-Doppler radar target acquisition and detection,mathematical model of return signal and its processing based on sub-array is established.Then a novel algorithm of side-lobe clutter area estimation and spatial filtering for target detection in such area is presented.The algorithm evidently lowers the computation by using reduction of dimensionality in azimuth and pitch direction with reasonable losses in performance of clutter-suppression.The computation complexity of the algorithm is compared with the conventional optimal spatial filtering algorithm by theoretical analysis.The performance of clutter-suppression of the algorithm is compared with the signal integration algorithm of traditional PD radar and the optimal spatial filtering algorithm of phased-array PD radar by computer simulation.
