摘要

摘要: 在海杂波背景下，散斑协方差矩阵估计性能严重影响着雷达自适应目标检测的准确性。针对不同散斑协方差矩阵估计方法，通常采用归一化F范数方法检验估计性能。但该检验方法需要已知真实协方差矩阵，在实际雷达系统中并不容易实现。鉴于该问题，该文提出了一种用于检验散斑协方差矩阵估计性能的白化度评价方法，充分利用了散斑协方差矩阵在白化滤波过程中的去相关作用。该方法将白化滤波后的杂波向量中脉冲间的相关程度作为评价指标，衡量散斑协方差矩阵估计方法的估计误差大小。与归一化F范数检验方法相比，该文提出的评价方法具有检验结果的一致性并且有效的避免了其在实测数据处理中的局限性。

Abstract: In the background of sea clutter, the accuracy of adaptive target detection is heavily influenced by the estimated performance of speckle covariance matrix. Generally, Normalized Frobenius Norm (NFN) is used to test the estimated accuracy of different speckle covariance matrix estimators, in which the requirement of a known real covariance matrix is hardly realized in the radar system. Therefore, in this study, a whitening degree evaluation method is proposed wherein the decorrelation of speckle covariance matrix in whitening filter processing of the radar system is fully exploited. It considers the correlation degree among pulses in the whitening clutter vector as the criterion to evaluate the estimate error of the speckle covariance matrix. The proposed method shows consistent conclusions with NFN on simulated data and also avoids limitations of the latter method in real data processing.
