    Abstract: A radar system provides a transmitter that transmits a sequence of transmitted pulses in a transmit beam, receiving antenna array comprised of more than one element, and a receiver communicatively coupled to the receiving antenna area to receive received signal that comprises in-phase and quadrature samples collected of a reflected version of the sequence of transmitted pulses. A signal processing and target detection module resolves a received signal-plus-interference into different range cells based on a time delay between the transmitted pulse and the received signal, wherein a response from a range cell to a transmitted pulse is due to a target within the transmit beam and moving at an unknown velocity. An interference suppression module suppresses interference and test for presence of a target tested at each of a set of hypothesized azimuth angles and Doppler frequencies.

    Abstract: Detection of a radar target from a received radar signal includes computing a vector of filter weights dependent upon a steering vector and determining a threshold value dependent upon a designated probability of false alarm. The vector of filter weights is applied to samples of the received radar signal at a test cell, corresponding to a test range, to provide a filtered test signal and a test power of the filtered test signal is computed. The weights are also applied to samples of the received radar signal at a number of reference cells, to produce filtered reference signals. A reference power is computed from the filtered reference signals and the radar target is detected at the test range when a ratio of the test power to the reference power exceeds the threshold value.
