Abstract

The invention discloses a space-time two-dimensional clutter spectrum estimation method based on iterative weighted minimum variance. The method comprises the following steps: first, taking out echo data of a distance unit to be detected, after pulse compression, received by a radar, and utilizing the space-time structure of the data to construct a plurality of snapshots; then, using the space-time two-dimensional spectrum estimation method based on the iterative weighted minimum variance to estimate the space-time two-dimensional spectrum of clutters; finally, setting a stopping criterion according to the sparsity of the clutters and targets distributed on a space-time plane, and iteration can automatically stop. The method utilizes the space-time structure of the data of the unit to be detected to construct the snapshots, the estimated variance of the spectrum is effectively reduced, and the estimated accuracy of the clutter spectrum is high. The method utilizes the sparsity of the clutters and the targets distributed on the space-time two-dimensional plane to design the automatic stopping criterion of iteration, which can automatically converge. The method does not need airspace subaperture smoothness, does not have space-time aperture loss, and is not limited by an antenna structure. The method can be used for estimating the space-time two-dimensional clutter spectrum of an airborne radar at a non-homogeneous environment.
