Description

Sea clutter suppression method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of radio frequency technology and radar, and particularly relates to a method for suppressing sea clutter of a high-frequency ground wave radar of a miniaturized antenna array.
Background
Scholars at home and abroad propose various sea clutter suppression methods with different effects under different conditions. The traditional cancellation techniques are iterative and subspace decomposition. The iterative sea clutter cancellation algorithm proposed by Root in 1998 utilizes the iterative cancellation algorithm to effectively remove sea clutter after sea clutter is modeled as a sine model, and adopts short-time Doppler discrete Fourier transform to extract ship target information from a short time sequence. Primarily for identifying vessels in the marginal areas of sea clutter. The method is essentially an improved Clean algorithm, has high calculation speed and is suitable for the field of processing mass data in real time. However, the iteration times of the algorithm are difficult to control, the performance of the algorithm is limited in identifying the ship with the velocity spectrum just near the center of the first-order sea clutter spectral line, and the effect is not good when multiple targets are detected.
Researchers in 1993 such as m.w.poon, r.h.khan, Son Le-ngcc, etc. use subspace decomposition to implement sea clutter cancellation, usually singular value decomposition. And the first-order sea clutter and singular values partially reflecting noise are set to be zero, and signal components and noise of the first-order sea clutter can be eliminated through signal reconstruction. However, the clutter order of the method is not easy to determine, and the engineering implementation still has difficulty.
In addition, learners are happy bin, monetary vibration, Demarty and the like are engaged in sea clutter suppression according to the characteristics of sea clutter adjacent to each other. By utilizing the characteristics of the sea clutter, if the Doppler frequency change of the sea clutter is more than 1 and less than 2 Doppler resolution units in the azimuth and the adjacent distance units of the same wave beam, the echo data of the adjacent units can be used for inhibiting the clutter. Within a transmitting synthetic beam, amplitude-frequency characteristics of adjacent distance units of sea clutter necessarily have certain correlation. Or the average sea clutter time-frequency distribution graph is subtracted from the total time-frequency echo graph, so that the sea clutter can be weakened. Or the clutter cancellation preprocessing of the adjacent distance unit is improved, and the detection algorithm is verified by using a conventional target.
Before and after 2008, enyon bin considers that multi-angle and multi-dimensional joint information such as the distance, Doppler frequency shift, amplitude and shape structure of a Bragg peak and multi-dimensional characteristics such as continuity and symmetry of the amplitude of a sea wave Bragg peak are used for inhibiting first-order sea clutter, and provides an improvement method of a Clean algorithm. The method can effectively remove the first-order clutter with high intensity, has high calculation speed, but has the cost that the stronger target signal can be used as a sea clutter signal to be inhibited.
In about 2008, a french scholar Demarty also proposed a sea clutter modeling technology based on an electromagnetic scattering mechanism, and calculated the interaction between electromagnetic waves and the environment, thereby providing a new way for sea clutter suppression.
The above plans all have the problem of low sea clutter suppression effect or too large antenna array, and a novel sea clutter suppression method needs to be developed to overcome the above defects in the prior art.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
The invention provides a sea clutter suppression method under a small antenna array, which is improved aiming at the sea clutter suppression method for the target detection of a miniaturized high-frequency ground wave radar. In the method: the near real-time sea state information which can be provided by the radar itself is used as the prior knowledge of sea clutter suppression, and clutter is removed by applying a two-dimensional median filtering and a cancellation hybrid algorithm of a nearest distance unit. The invention aims to recover the discovery probability level under the noise background as much as possible, thereby improving the suppression performance of first-order sea clutter and background noise and improving the detection probability. The high-frequency radar sea clutter suppression method has feasibility after the radar antenna is miniaturized, can improve the signal-to-clutter ratio to a certain extent, and can further improve the detection performance of offshore sea surface ship targets after the radar antenna is miniaturized.
The design idea of the invention is as follows: the range-doppler space is examined for samples of the input signal, and an observation window consisting of an odd number of sample values is used to examine and determine whether the sample values represent a signal. Specifically, the numerical values in the observation window are subjected to size arrangement, and the value at the middle position of the observation window is output as a median. The amplitude and phase of the signal corresponding to the median are compared and judged according to the principles described herein, and if so, the signal is representative of the signal that must be retained, otherwise, the signal is filtered out. Values are discarded continuously while new window samples are taken continuously, and the above analysis process is repeated for all actual received data. The sea clutter suppression is completed by adopting the process.
Median filtering is a nonlinear signal processing technique based on the ordering statistical theory to effectively suppress noise. The median filter functions to divide the amplitude of each range gate signal by the average of the amplitudes of the doppler frequency bins over all range gates. The median filtering method is from image processing, can effectively restrain impulse noise and salt and pepper noise, solve the relevant interference problem, and can effectively protect boundary information. However, like other sorting algorithms, the method has the defect that the calculation times are uncertain because the method has a loop iteration structure, so that the classic median filter is only suitable for software implementation and is not suitable for hardware implementation with high real-time requirements.
In the following, the reason why the conventional median filtering algorithm is complicated is explained in detail. For example, after setting the register size, a sort calculation is performed to determine the median value of the data in the data register. In sorting, the sorting is carried out until a certain median is determined, and stopping is carried out, namely the (m × n-1)/2 th maximum value is obtained. The number of the sorting operations is:
Figure BDA0002712947470000061
therefore, conventional algorithms to derive the values of the mxn filter window require 3/[8 (n) (2×m2-1)]2-fold comparison calculation. For example, a 3 × 3 window, this number is 30; 7 x 7 windows, this number is 900. If the window size is increased continuously, the number of operations is increased sharply, which makes the hardware processing speed slow, increases the size of the resource register sharply, increases the resource occupancy rate sharply, and the like hardware difficulties.
Based on the consideration, the invention provides a rapid two-dimensional median filtering algorithm introduced into the data processing of the miniaturized high-frequency ground wave radar. One advantage is that the computation speed is increased, and the sorting basic unit is two numbers arranged in an ascending (or descending) order. The traditional processing method needs a large amount of iteration, and the method is different from the traditional processing method, only has a very small amount of loop iteration, eliminates the uncertainty of time delay from input to output, occupies small memory, is suitable for a field programmable gate array, and is beneficial to realizing the butt joint with engineering application. The butt joint with engineering practicality is realized.
The process of the present invention is described in more detail below. Before that, it is added that the target appears as a white dot on the range-doppler plot, corresponding to a gray scale value of 255. Sea clutter appears on the range-doppler plot as close to a white point, corresponding to a gray value of approximately 255. Sea clutter and targets have some confusion.
1. Signal detection and conversion
Firstly, Fourier transform is carried out on a time domain sequence S (n) of the signal, and the time domain sequence S (n) is transformed into a frequency domain to obtain a complex data sequence S (omega). Fourier transform is again performed to transform to Doppler (Doppler) spectrum. Specifically, FFTs with different lengths and multiple sliding windows are adopted simultaneously in the Doppler processing (FFTs refers to fast fourier transform). Typical FFT lengths are from 8 to 1024 points. Research finds that for a low-speed sailing ship, the shorter FFT has better detection performance for detection, and after the ship reaches high speed and advances at a constant speed, the longer FFT with the median background is more suitable for detection. It is noted that in radar observation measurement, the distance and speed errors are small, and the estimation of distance and speed parameters can be optimized by adopting a multi-length FFT algorithm. For data with high signal-to-noise ratio, longer data is used, and for data with lower signal-to-noise ratio, shorter FFT is used.

1. signal detection and conversion
The time domain sequence S (n) of the signal is first fourier transformed to the frequency domain to obtain the complex data sequence S (ω), and then fourier transformed again to the Doppler (Doppler) spectrum. Specifically, FFTs with different lengths and multiple sliding windows are adopted simultaneously in the Doppler processing (FFTs refers to fast fourier transform).

2. Median filtering
On a two-dimensional range-Doppler spectrum, An[xij]Means that points in the image are centered at point (i, j) and N is 2N +1 (where N is N ═ 2N +1N is an odd integer, N is a positive integer) window operation, med (A)n[xij]) Represents window An[xij]All points within the cluster are taken as the median. y isijIs a pixel point xijThe median filtered output value, namely:

3. Judgment of
First, the amplitude A of the ith component signal is measurediIf the ith component signal amplitude A is compared with the average sea clutter poweriLarger, the retention, lower, the corresponding deletion from the original time domain sequence,
then, for the retained component signals, the phase of the ith component signal is required to be adjusted

And radar echo signals

The component correspondence is removed from the original time domain sequence and the process is repeated for the remaining signal until it is time to remove the component correspondence from the original time domain sequence
Figure BDA0002712947470000106
The component signal is considered to correspond to a ship target,
then, the frequency ω of the i-th component signal is also measured simultaneouslyiWith frequency omega of radar echo signals0Making a comparison if omegai≠ω0Then the component signal is correspondingly deleted from the original time domain sequence,
and finally, if the phase and the frequency of the ith component signal are equal, the component signals are kept to be continuously compared, and the comparison is carried out until the power of a median point in the clutter area is smaller than the average clutter power, so that the sea clutter suppression is completed.
In this way, the sea clutter is identified and eliminated, and the suppression of the sea clutter is completed.
According to the method, a plurality of frequency windows are divided for the radar echo according to the frequency range of the first-order sea clutter, wherein the frequency range of the first-order sea clutter is 0-8 Hz. The way to divide the frequency bin for the radar echo is as follows: determining a frequency h in the frequency range of the first-order sea clutter, wherein the radar echo is w, and the frequency windows divided by the radar echo are (w-h) - (w + h).
In order to verify the superiority of the method of the invention, the measured data recorded in a certain experimental field is adopted for verification analysis:
the radar is placed parallel to the coast with the axis pointing 105 deg. in the true north direction, and the scans cover 15 deg. and 155 deg. in the true north direction. The measured data for a certain period of time is 256 frames, (i.e. one sweep period of 0.65s) and comprises 2560, and each channel comprises 80 data. For a total of 16 channels 1280 data. Therefore, each data sample represents the synthesis of the radiation energy of points at all positions on the circumference with the ith antenna element as the center and the 5km as the increasing radius, as shown in fig. 1, and fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the sampling points and the distance elements in the embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, for comparison and analysis, the measured radar echo data of 13 th, 17 th, 19 th and 37 th range bins are processed, and the results before and after the first-order sea clutter suppression processing are mainly compared and analyzed. Firstly, denoising and suppressing the sea clutter by using a two-dimensional median filtering algorithm, selecting reference cancellation unit data, wherein the data consists of average data of 8 adjacent distance units, the data is used as a subtraction number, 13 th distance metadata is used as a subtraction number, the subtraction number and the subtraction number are subtracted, and then the amplitude is compensated to the difference of echo data, so that the data after the sea clutter suppression can be obtained. In the detection process, the distance dimension and Doppler dimension reference units are respectively set as a left sampling unit and a right sampling unit, the distance dimension and Doppler dimension constant false alarm detection reference units are set as a left unit and a right unit of the detection unit respectively, and the left unit and the right unit are taken as protection units respectively, so that higher detection probability and lower false alarm probability are obtained. Test results show that when the threshold is 11dB, after data are subjected to median filtering after two FFT in four different time periods, the density of salt-pepper noise can be actually controlled by the threshold of a constant false alarm. When the threshold value is 7dB, the threshold setting is reduced, and the more salt and pepper noise points are, the main body of the false alarm is formed. The "false alarm rate" is related to the threshold of the noise level. The higher the threshold, the lower the false alarm rate. After Gumbel distributed double thresholds (7dB and 11dB) are adopted, the comparison and analysis of the overall consistent effect can show that the first-order peak, the second-order peak and the island ground clutter of the sea clutter are greatly eliminated, and the target is obviously shown. After median filtering and different distance element clutter cancellation are carried out by utilizing the correlation of the sea clutter, the first-order sea clutter suppression performance is greatly improved.
The method has a very small amount of loop iteration, effectively avoids the defect of a sorting algorithm with a loop iteration structure, eliminates the uncertainty of time delay from input to output, occupies small memory, can effectively protect boundary information, has low requirement on hardware and is easy to realize in engineering.
The invention aims to recover the probability level under the noise background as much as possible, thereby improving the first-order sea clutter suppression performance and improving the target detection probability. The high-frequency radar sea clutter suppression method has feasibility after the radar antenna is miniaturized, can improve the signal-to-clutter ratio to a certain extent, and can further improve the detection performance of offshore sea surface ship targets after the radar antenna is miniaturized.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention, and that any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
