Abstract
To eliminate strong jamming signals, a radar acquires a relatively weak target signal by using a side-lobe canceller (SLC) algorithm. This paper presents a novel adaptive SLC algorithm that is applicable to a fully digital active array radar. First, a covariance matrix is obtained from the SLC beam. Then, an adaptive SLC coefficient is extracted after calculating the correlation matrix between the main beam signal and the SLC beam signal. Finally, the target signal is estimated and the jamming signal is removed through the operation with the main beam signal. The application results from simulated radar signals demonstrated that the proposed algorithm is effective in an SLC system. Moreover, we analyzed various considerations and improved systematic usability.
