A switching variability index(SVI) constant false alarm rate(CFAR) detector is proposed for improving the detection performance of VI-CFAR detectors in multiple targets backgrounds. When the presence of non-homogeneity in CFAR reference windows is indicated by a VI-CFAR detector, a switchingCFAR detector is introduced to optimize the performance of the VI-CFAR detector in homogeneous, multiple targets and clutter edge backgrounds. The structure and parameters selection method of the SVI-CFAR detector is presented. Comparisons with classic CFAR detectors and recently proposed detectors are also given. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that SVICFAR detector maintains the good performance of the VI-CFAR detector in homogeneous and clutter edge backgrounds, while greatly improving the capacity of anti-multi targets.
高频地波雷达能够探测到视距以外的低空飞机和舰船等目标,但其检测性能受到电离层杂波的严重影响。为了能够在有电离层杂波干扰的情况下检测出目标信号,首先利用MUSIC(multiple signal classification)算法对电离层杂波的方向特性进行分析,分析表明大部分电离层杂波呈现很强的方向性,并且通常相邻分辨单元的电离层杂波具有一致性的方向性。对于有方向性的电离层杂波可以将其方向作为已知信息,利用Constrained-MUSIC算法在含有电离层杂波的距离-多普勒分辨单元中对目标进行方位检测,在空域将目标与电离层杂波分开。通过对实测数据的分析,证明该方法可以有效地对有方向性的电离层杂波进行抑制,从而提高高频地波雷达的检测性能。
