After sufficient statistic done above-mentioned dimension-reduction treatment according to y, if estimate clutter covariance matrix with the data z behind the dimensionality reduction, the dimension of covariance matrix was reduced to MNR by MNK _K, then corresponding inversion operation amount is by O[(MNK) ³] reduce to O[(MNR _K) ³], make the requirement of independent same distribution clutter number of samples reduce to 2 * MNR by 2 * MNK _KTherefore, greatly reduce operand and to the requirement of independent same distribution clutter number of samples.

Step 3: estimate clutter covariance matrix.

Utilize the data vector z of a range gate to calculate echo covariance matrix R:R=zz ^H, and to 2 * MNR _KThe covariance matrix of individual range gate is averaged, and obtains its estimated value
