Description

Target detection method based on subspace clutter cancellation in complex Gaussian clutter
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of radar signal processing and target detection, and particularly relates to a target detection technology in radar target detection.
Background
Under the conditions of complex Gaussian clutter and transmitted coherent pulse trains, the fully adaptive radar clutter suppression and target detection technology usually needs a large amount of independent same-distribution distance unit echo data as training samples, and particularly under the observation condition of a digital array radar, the number of the required training samples is huge. Meanwhile, the performance of the conventional method of adaptive clutter suppression and target detection after matching and filtering is obviously reduced by a large side lobe formed during strong target echo pulse compression.
Aiming at the first problem, under the condition of limited number of training samples, a diagonal loading technology is often adopted to improve the detection performance of the radar. However, the diagonal loading level is a quantity which is difficult to determine, too small loading will not work, and too large loading will affect the suppression of clutter; meanwhile, the diagonal loading technology also needs a certain number of training samples, otherwise the performance of the technology is greatly reduced.
For the second problem, an iterative Adaptive Pulse Compression (APC) technique is usually used to suppress the range side lobe, but the iterative APC technique usually destroys the phase coherence between pulses and the statistically independent co-distribution property between training samples, so that the problem becomes more severe. This is also the reason that the detection performance obtained based on the iterative APC technique is not even as good as that of the non-adaptive matched filtering technique in the dense and strong clutter environment.
Aiming at the two problems, the invention provides a target detection method based on subspace clutter cancellation processing, which is suitable for a complex Gaussian clutter background.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a target detection method based on subspace clutter cancellation in complex Gaussian clutter, aiming at the problems of high training sample requirement and high strong target distance side lobe faced by clutter suppression and target detection in complex Gaussian clutter background, wherein the technical problems to be solved comprise:
(1) reconstructing echo data which is not subjected to matched filtering processing in a radar coherent pulse train observation mode into a data matrix form required by non-iterative adaptive pulse compression;
(2) in the adaptive pulse compression process, the energy of scattering points from other distance units is minimized while the energy of the scattering points from the current distance unit is kept unchanged;
(3) and outputting the designed CFAR problem of the test statistic based on the non-iterative adaptive pulse compression filtering.
The invention relates to a target detection method based on subspace clutter cancellation in complex Gaussian clutter, which is characterized by comprising the following technical measures:
(1) obtaining echo data which is not subjected to matched filtering processing in a radar coherent pulse train observation mode to obtain a K multiplied by L dimensional data matrix D;
(2) recombining and forming a corresponding N multiplied by K dimension data matrix Y (l) aiming at each distance unit;
(3) calculating a corresponding N multiplied by N dimensional covariance matrix C (l) for each distance unit;
(4) calculating a corresponding non-iterative adaptive pulse compression filter weight vector w (l) for each distance unit;
(5) aiming at each distance unit, calculating a corresponding non-iterative adaptive pulse compression filtering output result z (l);
(6) calculating a corresponding test statistic T (l) for each distance unit;
(7) for the test statistic T (l), the false alarm probability P is calculatedfaA corresponding CFAR detection threshold η;
(8) and comparing T (l) with eta to give a detection judgment result of each distance unit.
Compared with the conventional method of adaptive clutter suppression and target detection after matching and filtering, the target detection method based on subspace clutter cancellation in the complex Gaussian clutter has the advantages that:
(1) the method solves the problem of strong target high-distance side lobes which easily occur in conventional pulse compression by analogy of the problem of self-adaptive pulse compression to the problem of self-adaptive beam forming and referring to the concept of Capon, and overcomes the problem of insufficient detection capability of a radar on a small target caused by the fact that the side lobes of the strong target shield the small target;
(2) the method utilizes the Capon idea to construct a non-iterative self-adaptive pulse compression filter which has coherent source cancellation capability, namely utilizes the characteristic that clutter observation vectors in adjacent distance units form coherent sources due to the fact that the clutter observation vectors have the same subspace, and achieves the purpose of clutter cancellation, namely clutter suppression;
(3) the target detection method based on subspace clutter cancellation in the complex Gaussian clutter designed by the method has CFAR capability.

(1) acquiring echo data which is not subjected to matched filtering processing in a radar coherent pulse train observation mode;
the radar emits coherent pulse trains with pulse repetition frequency frThe number of pulses is K, the waveform of each transmitted pulse is the same, and the column vector s ═ s is used0,…,sN-1]TRepresenting, wherein N is the number of waveform sampling points, each sampling point corresponds to a distance resolution unit, and superscript T represents transposition; n and K satisfy the relation that N is less than K;
sampling the distance echo of each pulse according to the Nyquist sampling theorem to obtain a distance dimension sampling sequence with the length of L; thereby obtaining echo data under a radar coherent pulse train observation mode, using a K multiplied by L dimensional matrix D to represent the echo data,

(2) traversing all L in L-N +1 with the L being more than or equal to 1, recombining the echo data matrix Y (L) corresponding to the L-th distance unit in the following way to obtain each echo data matrix Y (L) corresponding to L, which is composed of N distance units adjacent to L and echo data of K pulses,

Figure BDA0003094948970000032
the above formula uses the Capon idea in adaptive beam forming for reference, and for the adaptive pulse compression problem, the idea specifically means that the scattering point energy from other range units is minimized while the scattering point energy from the current range unit is kept unchanged; meanwhile, because the construction of the weight vector w (l) is based on the Capon idea, w (l) has the capability of coherent source cancellation; under the condition that the clutter in each distance unit meets the condition of statistical independence and same distribution, the clutter observation vector in each distance unit is in the same subspace, so that the clutter observation vector becomes a coherent source, and therefore, the weight vector w (l) of the non-iterative self-adaptive pulse compression filter has cancellation capacity on the subspace clutter in the distance unit;

Selecting one by one to obtain;
(7) for the test statistic t (l), the false alarm probability P is calculated as followsfaThe corresponding CFAR detection threshold η.
Under the condition that the clutter in each distance unit is complex Gaussian clutter which is statistically independent and distributed, the numerator of T (l) is subjected to central chi-square distribution with the degree of freedom of 2, the denominator is subjected to central chi-square distribution with the degree of freedom of 2(N-1), and then T (l) is subjected to central F distribution with the degrees of freedom of 2 and 2(N-1), so T (l) is CFAR, and the false alarm probability P isfaThe relationship with the CFAR detection threshold η is as follows,
Figure BDA0003094948970000041
given false alarm probability PfaThen the corresponding CFAR detection threshold eta is obtained by the above formula calculation, and the detection threshold eta is related to the distanceThe units are irrelevant, i.e. all L in L-N +1 are traversed, L is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to L, and the CFAR detection threshold corresponding to each distance unit is eta.
