  • The pseudo-random agility technology for interpulse waveform parameters in airborne radar increases the complexity and uncertainty of radar waveform and improves its anti-clutter and anti-interference ability by optimizing the pulse repetition interval, initial phase, frequency, and amplitude, which is one of the main developmental directions of airborne radar technology. The pseudo-random agility of interpulse parameters makes multi-pulse coherent accumulation and modeling of clutter spectrum characteristics difficult. In this paper, a pseudo-random agility signal model of interpulse parameters is established. Furthermore, a non-uniform parameter coherent processing method is proposed, and the anti-interference performance is analyzed. Based on the analysis, the clutter echo model of airborne radar with random pulse repetition interval is studied, and a joint transmitter-receiver filter design is proposed for strong clutter processing. Finally, numerical simulation is conducted to verify the results.
