Adaptive Beamforming For Jamming Suppression In The Whole Range Domain

For the traditional early warning radar, only one weight vector is calculated in engineering application for adaptive spatial filtering in a pulse reputation interval (PRI). Therefore, if the training data do not contain the jamming, then the adaptive spatial filtering calculated cannot suppress the jamming. If the adaptive weights update in the whole range domain, the target signal may be contained in the training data, resulting in signal self-cancelling effect. In this paper, we propose a non-homogeneous detector (NHD) based method for updating the adaptive weights in the whole range domain when the training data is contaminated by target signal. The principle is given, and the effectiveness is verified by simulations.
