An approach based on the frequency diverse array (FDA) technique is proposed to mitigate the range ambiguous clutter. The frequency increment is designed to distinguish the clutter at ambiguous ranges and suppress the clutter by using a subspace projection algorithm. On the platform with high altitude or limited array antennas, the proposed method performs better for its independence of the elevation degrees-of-freedom (DOF). Finally, simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

Time segments of hill are represented by their corresponding particle in B-scan. Those particles in B-scan are clustered to represent reflectors (such as buried targets, air-soil interface). The clusters of buried target have a particle sequence with single peak. Therefore, if the particles donot belong to the cluster of buried target, time segment they represent will be suppressed. Experimental results and simulation are provided to demonstrate that the new algorithm outperforms existing approaches.展开更多

The preliminary result is obtained by using target resolution improved processing （TRIP）. The preliminary result will be used as an initial input for TRIP iteration. All TRIP iteration steps are the adaptive linear combination of the previous TRIP result and the preliminary result. This adaptive combination strategy can balance clutter suppression and target information protection, which is considered as a troublesome contradiction and a chronic problem in clutter suppression research. When the matrix entropy of iteration result converges, the algorithm can achieve a good result both in clutter suppression and target protection. Experimental results demonstrate that the new algorithm outperforms the existing approaches.展开更多
