Abstract:

This study deals with the problem of mainlobe jamming suppression for rotated array radar. The interference becomes spatially nonstationary while the radar array rotates, which causes the mismatch between the weight and the snapshots and thus the loss of target signal to noise ratio (SNR) of pulse compression. In this paper, we explore the spatial divergence of interference sources and consider the rotated array radar anti-mainlobe jamming problem as a generalized rotated array mixed signal (RAMS) model firstly. Then the corresponding algorithm improved blind source separation (BSS) using the frequency domain of robust principal component analysis (FD-RPCA-BSS) is proposed based on the established rotating model. It can eliminate the influence of the rotating parts and address the problem of loss of SNR . Finally, the measured peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of each separated channel is performed to identify the target echo channel among the separated channels. Simulation results show that the proposed method is practically feasible and can suppress the mainlobe jamming with lower loss of SNR.
