In this paper. we propose a prewhitening method for the km reverberation to enhance the target signal. The proposed algorithm uses the dechirping method which inversely compensates the frequency chirp rate of LFM and transforms the LFM reverberation to have stationary frequency property in each data block. Also, using the left and right adjacent beam signals as reference signals. we model frequency response of each data block by AR coefficients. From these coefficients, we implement inverse filter and prewhiten the LFM reverberation of the center beam efficiently.
