摘要:
This invention relates to a spectral generator and a spectral generation method for receiving pre-processed range-doppler-sensor data and generating at least one noise-reduced high-resolution spectrum therefrom. The spectral generator comprises a window generator that generates a window which defines a plurality of range-doppler cells. The spectral generator further comprises a covariance matrix calculator that is in communication with the window generator to receive the range-doppler-sensor data within the window and calculate a covariance matrix estimate for a range-doppler cell of interest in the window. The spectral generator also includes a spectral calculator that is in communication with the covariance matrix calculator to calculate a high-resolution spectral vector based on a location matrix and a noise subspace matrix estimate.

An electronic device is provided for quantifying video frequency pulse signals, comprising a first and a second signal-formation channel having a common input connected to a source of input signals and outputs connected to a level comparator with two output states; the ratio of the gains and the DC level difference of said first and second channels having predetermined values; the first channel comprising a delay circuit provided with substantially equidstant taps which are connected respectively to the inputs of an "OR" type linear operator, the output of this operator being connected to a first input of a summing circuit whose second input is connected to a DC voltage source, the second channel comprising essentially a delay circuit.

In-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) radar return signals are converted to phase to provide phase difference between like range bins of successive pulse repetition intervals (PRI's), the phase differences being reconverted to I and Q format for accumulation across multi-range-bin windows surrounding each range bin to be processed, the normalized range bin accumulations being continuously accumulated in the angle domain, in successive PRI's, to provide clutter phase angle estimates used to rotate incoming target video vectors, a single time, back to the estimated zero-doppler phase of the first PRI of a multi-PRI batch for clutter-elimination filtering. Third-order and fourth-order filtering (utilizing four-PRI and five-PRI batches, respectively), is achieved on a constant one-out-of-four PRI output basis by utilizing the same weighted data for the highest PRI of one fourth-order batch and the lowest PRI of the next higher fourth-order batch, which is rendered possible by the continuous accumulation of estimated phases, over successive PRI's.

A circuit for processing reflected signals is described. The reflected signal is delayed for a period of time which is equal to the period of the first half cycle of the reflected signal. It is also attenuated by an amount equal to the difference in amplitude between the first and second half cycles of the reflected signal. The delayed and attenuated signal is then combined with the reflected signal so that only the first half cycle of the reflected signal and the last half cycle of delayed signal remain.

The present invention relates to a method of shaping radar signals upon reception, characterized by the fact that it includes the step of subjecting each signal received to successive amplifications and to detections respectively associated thereto, the step of making a first summing of the signals detected up to the penultimate detection, the step of making a second summing of the signals resulting from the first summing and of the signals resulting from the ultimate detection, the step of subjecting the signals resulting from said second summing to a constant time delay, the step of effecting s subtraction operation between the time-delayed signals and the signals resulting from the first summing, and the step of subjecting the signals resulting from said subtraction to a baseclipping and peak-clipping operation whereby to generate usable signals the leading edges of which are produced at instants independent of the amplitude of the signals received and hence, most notably, of the range of the target.
