The clutter distribution of an airborne multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) radar in non-homogeneous environment varies with ranges and samples in different range gates are not independent identically distributed vectors, so that the statistical space time adaptive processing (STAP) methods degrade heavily. A clutter suppression method for airborne MIMO radar in non-homogeneous environments is studied in this paper. Firstly, Space time autoaggressive (STAR) method is introduced to airborne MIMO radar for clutter suppression and then an AR model parameters estimation method for STAR is proposed to decrease the complexity of traditional method. Simulation results show the proposed method can estimate parameters exactly and rapidly with only few training samples and be fit for clutter suppression in non-homogeneous environments.

Sidelobe Canceller

The broadened first-order sea clutter in shipborne high frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR), which will mask the targets with low radial velocity, is a kind of classical space–time coupled clutter. Space–time adaptive processing (STAP) has been proven to be an effective clutter suppression algorithm for space-time coupled clutter. To further improve the efficiency of clutter suppression, a STAP method based on a generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC) structure, named as the auxiliary channel STAP, was introduced into shipborne HFSWR. To obtain precise clutter information for the clutter covariance matrix (CCM) estimation, an approach based on the prior knowledge to auxiliary channel selection is proposed. Auxiliary channels are selected along the clutter ridge of the first-order sea clutter, whose distribution can be determined by the system parameters and regarded as pre-knowledge. To deal with the heterogeneity of the spreading first-order sea clutter, an innovative training samples selection approach according to the Riemannian distance is presented. The range cells that had shorter Riemannian distances to the cell under test (CUT) were chosen as training samples. Experimental results with measured data verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, and the comparison with the existing clutter suppression algorithms showed the superiority of the algorithm.

Compared with single-input multiple-output (SIMO) radar, colocated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar can detect moving targets better by adopting waveform diversity. When the colocated MIMO radar transmits a set of orthogonal waveforms, the transmit weights are usually set equal to one, and the receive weights are adaptively adjusted to suppress clutter based on space-time adaptive processing technology. This paper proposes the joint design of space-time transmit and receive weights for colocated MIMO radar. The approach is based on the premise that all possible moving targets are detected by setting a lower threshold. In each direction where there may be moving targets, the space-time transmit and receive weights can be iteratively updated by using the proposed approach to improve the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), which is helpful to improve the precision of target detection. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method improves the output SINR by greater than 13 dB.

Cramer Rao Bound

Distributed multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar has attracted much attention for its improved detection and estimation performance as well as enhanced electronic counter-counter measures (ECCM) ability. To protect the target from being detected and tracked by such radar, we consider a barrage jamming strategy towards a distributed MIMO. We first derive the Cramer–Rao bound (CRB) of target parameters estimation using a distributed MIMO under barrage jamming environments. We then set maximizing the CRB as the criterion for jamming resource allocation, aiming at degrading the accuracy of target parameters estimation. Due to the non-convexity of the CRB maximizing problem, particle swarm optimization is used to solve the problem. Simulation results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed strategy over traditional jamming methods.
