Abstract

The ground and sea clutter received by space-based early warning radar (SBEWR) has severely range ambiguous characteristics due to its platform location, and the non-stationary factor caused by Earth’s rotation makes the received clutter at different range ambiguous positions seriously broaden in the Doppler dimension. The complex clutter suppression performance of SBEWR obtained by traditional method is degraded significantly. To solve this problem and achieve better clutter suppression performance, a novel multi-domain adaptive processing method for clutter suppression is proposed in this paper. The proposed method introduced a range related signal processing domain based on conventional space–time domain by using frequency diverse array phase multiple-input multiple-output (FDA-Phase-MIMO) radar. In addition, a novel multi-domain joint dimensionality reduction structure was designed. The novel multi-domain joint adaptive processing using the proposed dimensionality reduction structure could not only obtain great clutter suppression performance of SBEWR, but also minimize the requirement of the number of selected auxiliary channels. Simulation examples show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
