Abstract
The performance of high-frequency hybrid sky-surface wave radar (HFSSWR) is known to suffer from the spread Doppler clutter (SDC). As a major source of the SDC, ionospheric clutter generally possesses high directivity within the main detection range. Classical coherent sidelobe cancellation method provides an efficient way to suppress the highly directional clutter. However, it performs poorly when the directions of a target and the clutter are both in the main lobe. To address this problem, a novel clutter suppression method using oblique projection is proposed, which does not require priori knowledge of the targets, such as directions, Doppler frequencies, strength etc. By combining training data selection based on oblique projection with SDC suppression in the Doppler domain, this method is implemented in the interested range cell for all target directions. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can achieve better clutter suppression performance based on real data.
