    摘要: An apparatus and method for reducing the power of active jamming signals received by the sidelobes of a radar antenna. A known method includes providing a radar with a main antenna and N auxiliary antennas, each antenna being associated with a corresponding processing channel. The signals received by the N antennas are each given a weighting coefficient corresponding to jamming on that channel. The N signals are then combined to form a weighted linear combination which is subtracted from the main channel signal to provide a signal with reduced jamming. The present invention provides apparatus and method for reducing clutter signals (such as fixed echoes and thermal noise) from each of the signals received in the N channels, thus producing very accurate weighting coefficients thereby allowing jamming power to be further reduced. Apparatus and method are provided for carrying out moving target indication (MTI) on all channels, determining the jammed range cells by comparing the main channel signal with the auxiliary channel signals and validating these signals with respect to thermal noise, determining the weighting coefficients from information derived from a given number of jammed range cells (preferably those grouped together at the end of recurrence), forming the weighted linear combination from only those signals which are, in fact, jammed, and subtracting the weighted linear combination from the main channel signal.
