The analysis of the effects of ASLC on MTD and solutions

It is common to use Moving Target Detection (MTD) to compete with passive clutter. When there are jamming and clutter at the same time, it is necessary to apply Adaptive Sidelobe Canceller (ASLC) before MTD. However, the weight noise caused by ASLC brings about the large surplus of clutter in the MTD process, which affects the performance of MTD. Therefore, two methods, diagonal loading based (DL-based) ASLC and MTD processing ahead of ASLC, are proposed in this paper to solve this problem. Simulation results indicate that the proposed methods can improve the performance of MTD.
