Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect another target concealing in the range side lobe of a large target as well by estimating the time and amplitude of the side lobe from the peak time and amplitude of the signal after compression and detecting the signal exceeding the same. CONSTITUTION:The amplitude of the compression range pulse outputted by a pulse compression circuit 1 through a processing circuit 2 for various signals is stored in an amplitude storage circuit 4. On the other hand, the peak value of the range pluse and the output time thereof are detected in a detection circuit 5 for the position of peak time and the amplitude and time of the side lobe are estimated by a forming circuit 7 for a subtraction signal from such detected value and the corresponding side lobe pattern from a pattern storage circuit 6. The estimated value is applied to a subtraction circuit 8 by which the side lobe component is removed from the storage content of the circuit 4. The small target signal concealing in the side lobe of the large target is thus detected according to the output exceeding the detection level.
