Clutter Cancellation Based on Frequency Domain Analysis in Passive Bistatic Radar

In order to solve the problem when the target detection of passive bistatic radar is seriously affected by direct signal and multi-path, a clutter cancellation algorithm based on frequency domain analysis is proposed in this paper. By analyzing and processing the frequency domain correlation between the reference signal and the echo signal, the time delay and the amplitude of the direct signal and multipath in the echo signal can be estimated for clutter cancellation. This method can not only reduce the computation greatly, but also eliminate the influence of clutter echo residue on target detection. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulation and real data processing.
